Curiöse Beschreibung, Der außerleßnesten Merckwürdigkeiten, So in denen dreyen Welt-Theilen Asia, Africa und America zu finden: Als eine Fortsetzung der bereits heraus gegebenen Nachricht von Europa
A German travel and curiosities compendium by Paul Ludolph Berckenmeyer, published in 1731, describing wonders of Asia, Africa and America as a sequel to his account of Europe, held by Heidelberg University Library. The pictures are copperplate and woodcut engravings: a church facade with a mounted rider and onlookers, flower baskets in woodcut, and a desert caravan of riders and camels beneath a palm. A designer could draw on the compact, hatched line work of eighteenth-century engraving and the stylised woodcut bouquets for period botanical or ornamental motifs.
