Joh. Amos Comenii Orbis Sensualium Pictus: Hoc est: Omnium fundamentalium in mondo rerum, & in vita actionum, Pictura & Nomenclatura
Orbis Sensualium Pictus is a 1698 illustrated Latin-German schoolbook by Johann Amos Comenius, held by Heidelberg University Library, that pairs numbered woodcut pictures with word lists for children learning language. The small framed woodcuts show everyday trades, buildings, nature and processes, such as a beehive, a mason at a wall, and a shipwreck at sea, drawn with plain outlines and simple perspective that a designer could use for pictorial icons or period-style vignettes.
