Description

Title page of the homonymous atlas by Jean Covens and Corneille Mortier. Blank verso.
Soldiers, savages and other individuals are shown approaching a queen seated on her throne. In the upper right corner, Atlas is shown holding up the world. In the sky, a charioteer (Apollo?) is riding in the clouds with part of a zodiac ring displayed above him.
The map is from a Dutch edition of De L'Isle's work entitled, Atlas Nouveau, Contenant Toutes Les Parties Du Monde, Ou sont exactement Remarquées les Empires, Monarchies, Royaumes, Etats, Republiques &c. Par Guillaume de l'Isle. Premier Géographe de sa Majesté.
It was published by Covens and Mortier, brothers-in-law who continued the firm established by Pierre Mortier.
