Ferrer Maldonado, Lorenzo, -1625 · 1627 · [Alcalá de Henares] Año 1626. En Alcala, : Por Iuan Garcia, y Antonio Duplastre. · 23 pictures

A Spanish navigation and cosmography treatise by Lorenzo Ferrer Maldonado, printed in Alcalá de Henares in 1626 (dated 1627), aimed at navigators and students of the sphere. Its woodcut diagrams show the earth as a sphere with antipodes, zones, and the sun's path, drawn in simple linework on aged paper. A designer might take the clean geometric circles, radiating lines, and small stylized figures as a model for diagrammatic globe or orbit graphics.
