M. Georgii Andreae Helwings ... Lithographia Angerburgica, sive lapidum et fossilium, in districtu Agerburgensi & ejus vicinia, ad trium vel quatuor milliarium spatium : in montibus, agris, arenofodinis & in primis circa lacuum littora & fluviorum ripas, collectorum brevis & succincta consideratio ...
Lithographia Angerburgica is a 1717 natural history treatise by Georg Andreas Helwing, printed in Danzig by Johann Stelter, cataloguing fossils and stones collected around Angerburg in East Prussia for scholars and collectors. Its engraved plates show rows of fossil shells, corals, bones and plant-like stone forms drawn in fine hatched line, each numbered with a keyed label. A designer could take from them the dense, systematic arrangement of specimens on a page, with cross-hatching and stippling that suggest texture and volume without colour.
