      Title means "The World Illustrated". A children's version of the first visual dictionary published in 1658 by John Amos Comenius. One of the most popular educational books for nearly two centuries after. It's a collection of copper engravings each showing a scene from 17th century life, a house interior, a smithy, a barrel maker etc with items in the pictures labeled with number corresponding to a name in a sentence in the text below. The sentences are given in both English and Latin. (The book's primary goal may have been to teach basic latin names. Important knowledge back then.) Interesting look into the world of the mid-1600s in Europe.
