Historia orbis terrarum, geographica et civilis, de variis negotiis : nostri potiss. & superioris seculi, aliisve rebus selectioribus
A 1680 Latin geographical and historical work by Johann Christoph Becmann, printed at Frankfurt an der Oder for the Finceliano bookseller, covering world geography and recent events. The four pictures are small decorative headpieces and tailpieces of woodcut strapwork, scrollwork and stylised flowers, useful to a designer for compact ornamental borders and cartouche motifs.
