Sebastian Münster's Cosmographia, printed in Basel in 1572 by the Henricpetri press, is a universal geography for scholars and general readers of the period. Its pictures are woodcut town views, panoramic landscapes and small regional maps with dense hatched clouds, hills and walled settlements, offering a designer ready models for cartographic vignettes and early modern topographic line work.
