L'vniversale fabrica del mondo, overo Cosmografia dell'ecc. Gio. Lorenzo d'Anania, diuisa in quattro trattati ... Di nuouo ornata con le figure delle quattro parti del mondo in rame: et dal medesimo auttore con infinite aggiuntioni per ogni parte dell' opera ampliata ..
This is a 1596 Venetian cosmography by Giovanni Lorenzo d'Anania, a geography treatise in four parts printed by Appresso A. Muschio for scholars and readers of geography. The pictures are black-and-white woodcut ornaments, mostly roses, leafy scrolls and putti friezes, set as decorative headpieces and tailpieces; a designer could borrow their dense hatched line work and botanical borders for historical ornament.
