A 1553 Dutch-language cosmography by Petrus Apianus, revised by Gemma Frisius and printed at Antwerp for general readers interested in geography and navigation. Its pages are dense black-letter text set in narrow columns, opening with large decorated initial letters in woodcut, with ornamental capitals framed by vine and foliage motifs that a designer could borrow for display type and border work.
