A 1686 Portuguese geography treatise in three parts by António Carvalho da Costa (1650-1715), printed in Lisbon by João Galrão and dedicated to a Marquis of Marialva's son, covering map projection, hydrography, and terrestrial description. Its pictures are geometric diagrams of circles, chords, and spheres, plus a sunlit triangle and nested arcs, showing how a designer could use construction lines to lay out a clean, precise scientific figure.
