A 1657 Latin natural history compiled by Joannes Jonstonus and published in Amsterdam by Ioannes Iacobi Schipper, aimed at naturalists and scholars studying animals. The pictures are numbered copperplate engravings of fish arranged in rows on plain pages, each specimen labelled in small type with clean outlines and fine hatching, useful to a designer looking for systematic, specimen-plate layouts and tidy line-based fish drawings.
