Cosmographia is a 1564 Antwerp cosmography and geography textbook by Peter Apian and Gemma Frisius, printed by the heirs of Arnoldus Birckmann for students and surveyors of the sky and land. Its woodcut pictures show instruments, sundials, and world maps drawn in fine engraved line, with ornate scrollwork borders that a designer could adapt for decorative frames, cartouches, and vintage map motifs.
