A 1537 Dutch cosmography printed in Antwerp by Gregorius de Bonte, adapting Peter Apian's and Gemma Frisius's geographic and astronomical teaching for general readers. The pictures are woodcut diagrams of astronomical instruments, sundials, a zodiacal disc with figures, and a climate-zone chart with a wavy-edged circle and labelled bands, all in plain black line that suits instructional infographics.
