A 1693 Italian cosmography and astronomy handbook by Vincenzo Coronelli, printed in Venice for Andrea Poletti, explaining the making and use of spheres, globes, planispheres, astrolabes and geographic tables. The engraved plates show diagrams of orbits and eclipses, a globe-gore map projection, and paired hemispheres drawn as fine line engravings on plain paper pages, with an open page of tinted marbled endpaper at the edge, offering a designer clear, precise linework for diagrammatic and cartographic motifs.
