Mogge, Jacob, Goeree, Willem, 1635-1711 · 1675 · Tot Middelburgh : By Wilhelmus Goeree, boeck-verkooper in Cicero · 50 pictures

A Dutch treatise on sundial construction by Jacob Mogge with Willem Goeree, printed at Middelburg in 1675 for practical makers and students of gnomonics. Its pictures are geometric diagrams of hour lines, radiating from a central point and labelled with numerals, that show how shadows fall on a dial plane; a designer could borrow their clean radiating line structure and numbered rays for minimal graphic layouts.
