Cosmographia, siue descriptio vniuersi orbis,
Cosmographia is a 1584 Antwerp cosmography and geography textbook by Peter Apian and Gemma Frisius, printed by Johannes Withagius for scholars and students of astronomy and surveying. Its pictures are geometric diagrams and measuring sketches, including a meridian line with a town marked on it, a right triangle with a dividing line, and a surveying staff with a plumb line, which a designer could borrow for clean line-based schematic graphics.
