A 1575 Spanish cosmography by Peter Apian, with additions by Gemma Frisius, López de Gómara and Girava, printed in Antwerp by Juan Bellero for Spanish-speaking readers. The pictures are small woodcut diagrams of the globe: a labelled meridian and parallel grid, a climate-zone chart with the zodiac, and a circular world map with place names, all printed in a plain, precise scholarly style that a designer might borrow for geometric framing, ornamental borders and map-like diagrams.
