Jonstonus's Historiae naturalis, a 1650 Latin natural history of quadrupeds published in Frankfurt am Main by the heirs of Matthaeus Merian, with engraved plates by Matthaeus Merian the younger aimed at naturalists and scholars. The pictures are stacked engravings of antelopes, goats and deer labelled in Latin, each animal shown in profile on bare ground with fine parallel hatching, offering a designer a clear model of how to organise specimen plates in a grid of labelled rows.
