"Le Theatre du Monde, ou Nouvel Atlas, Mis en Lumiere par Guillaume & Jean Blaeu. Troisieme Partie", Blaeu, (Family)

This is a superb architectural style title page. Classical geographers Ptolemy (left) and Marinus (right) flank the title with a terrestrial globe in the foreground and a celestial globe resting on the entablature. It was a common practice for publishers to print the titles on separate sheets that were pasted into the space left on the engraving, as is the case with this sheet.

A nice impression with full contemporary color on a lightly toned sheet with narrow margins, and a faint stain and old manuscript ink notations in the title.
