Compendium geographicum : succintâ methodo adornatum,
Compendium geographicum is a concise geography textbook compiled by Abraham Gölnitz and revised by Pierre Robiner, printed in Amsterdam in 1649 by Ludovicus Elzevirius for students and general readers. Its three pictures are small woodcut cartouche ornaments with scrolling foliage, flowers and a central oval, plus a heraldic shield with a chevron and a crest, which a designer could draw on for decorative frames, title-panel borders or armorial emblems.
