Ioannis Iacobi Baieri monumenta rerum petrificatarum praecipua oryctographiae noricae supplementi loco iungenda interprete filio Ferdinando Iacobo Baiero
A Latin catalogue of fossils published in 1757 at Nuremberg by Johann Jacob Baier, completed by his son Ferdinand Jakob Baier as a supplement to the Oryctographia Norica. Its engraved plates show petrified shells, corals and sponge-like forms drawn in fine stipple and hatching, with the specimens rendered as sculptural objects against plain grounds. A designer might take from them the tonal range of fine line shading and the organic, lattice-like and ribbed textures of natural forms.
