Mathematischer Atlas, in welchem auf 60 Tabellen alle Theile der Mathematic vorgestellet und nicht allein überhaupt zu bequemer Wiederholung, sondern auch den Anfängern besonders zur Aufmunterung durch deutliche Beschreibung und Figuren entworfen werden
A mid-eighteenth-century German mathematical atlas by Tobias Mayer, published in 1745 by Pfeffel, intended for beginners and for review of all branches of mathematics. The plates are copperplate tables of numbered diagrams with dense German text blocks beside them, showing a celestial globe with sphere diagrams, fortification and terrain plans with towers and hills, roof truss and building elevations, and mechanical parts such as wheels and axles. A designer could take the rigid grid layouts, numbered labelling, and precise linework as models for technical infographics.
