Joh. Amos Commenii Orbis sensualium pictus: : hoc est, Omnium principalium in mundo rerum, & in vita actionum, pictura & nomenclatura.
Comenius's Orbis sensualium pictus, a 1705 London picture book for children, here in Charles Hoole's English-Latin edition, teaching Latin vocabulary through numbered woodcuts of everyday life. The pictures are small numbered woodcut panels showing biblical scenes, a household interior, a farm with livestock and carcasses, a timber building and figures in landscapes, and a designer could take their compact grid layouts and keyed numbering as a model for labelled diagrams.
