Dr. I. Ionstons Beschrijving vande natuur der vogelen neffens haer beeldenissen in koper gesneden
A 1660 Dutch natural history of birds by Johannes Jonston, translated by Matthias Graus and published in Amsterdam by Jan Jacobsz Schipper, with engraved plates for a general readership. The numbered copper engravings show birds in profile, each labelled with a name, arranged in rows on the page, giving a designer a clear model for systematic specimen layouts and vintage scientific labelling.
