Georgii Marcgravii de Liebstad, Tractatus topographicus & meteorologicus Brasiliæ, : cum eclipsi solari; : quibus additi sunt illius & aliorum commentarii de Brasiliensium & Chilensium indole & lingua
Georg Marggraf's 1658 Latin treatise on Brazil's weather, topography and native languages, printed by the Elzevir brothers in Amsterdam for a scholarly European readership. Its pictures are small woodcut fish drawings set in the text, with plain outlines, hatched shading and scale patterns that a designer could borrow for naturalistic marine motifs or antique natural-history plates.
