Rudimenta cosmographica
Rudimenta cosmographica is a 1546 geography and cosmography primer by Johannes Honter, printed at Zurich by Froschauer for students of the subject. Its pictures are small woodcut maps of the Mediterranean, the Near East and Italy with dense place names, hatched coastlines and stylised mountain and town symbols, which a designer might take as models for antique-style cartographic linework and lettering.
