Sebastian Münster's Cosmographiae uniuersalis, printed in Basel in 1550 by Henricus Petri, is a Latin geography of the known world with town views and regional maps for a scholarly readership. Its woodcuts show a mounted warrior charging a fleeing crowd, a mining works with ore being processed, and a walled town under a dramatic sky with siege engines, giving designers dense, hand-cut linework for cartographic and narrative scenes.
