Atlas Compendiarius seu ita dictus, Scholasticus Minor : in usum erudiendae juventutis adornatus
This is a school atlas of maps compiled by Johann Baptist Homann and his heirs, published in 1753 in Nuremberg for teaching young students. The pictures are hand-coloured copperplate maps of Europe, Russia, Switzerland and Asia, with decorative cartouches, sea-monster borders and rhumb-line compass roses that a designer could draw on for cartographic ornament and colour-coded territorial layouts.
