Galle/Stradanus, 1592 Americae Retectio "This fascinating allegorical engraving commemorates the discovery of the New World. “Flora” (Florence) and “Janus” (Genoa) reveal a globe, that rests on the reclined body of Neptune (“Oceanus”), above a map of the coast of Italy. The title is suspended between portraits of Amerigo Vespucci and Christopher Columbus. Columbus’ ship, the “Santa Maria”, is shown leaving Genoa and approaching the West Indies and Vespucci’s ship is shown departing Italy (near his hometown of Florence) and sailing along the coast of South America. Magellan is alluded to on the globe where “Magellanica” is marked between the tip of South America and the huge southern continent. Mars displays the arms of Florence at upper left, while Neptune presents the arms of Genoa at right. Joannes Stradanus was a Flemish artist, who lived in Italy. He designed the four drawings in the Americae Retectio (including this frontispiece) and sent them to Antwerp where they were engraved by Adrian Collaert and published by Philippe Galle. According to Tooley, his work is one of the most important historical picture atlases, and is quite rare due to its ephemeral nature. This is the rare first state of three. The drawings were copied by Theodore De Bry, where the figures are shown in reverse." 11.2" W x 7.8" H There are some professional repairs in the blank margins, else fine.
Ptolemy/Mercator, 1704 Claudii Ptolemaei Tabulae Geographicae Orbis Terrarum Veteribus Cogniti This striking, classical title page is from Mercator`s edition of Ptolemy. It features two river gods in the foreground, and personifications of music, art, and learning are shown mapping the globe, while the angel of Fame trumpets above. Engraved by Jan van Vianen. Although Mercator is most renowned today for the projection he popularized and for first using the term "Atlas" for a collection of maps, he devoted much of his life to his Ptolemaic maps. This example is on a folio sized sheet and still attached to the table of contents for the atlas, published by Francois Halma and Guiljelmus van de Water. 9.3" W x 14.4" H Light soiling with a few small spots of foxing.

This title page graced David Koehler`s "Descriptio Orbis Antiqui", which was an atlas of the ancient world, published by Weigel. 7.5" W x 12.8" H A nice impression with a printer`s crease at left and light soiling. Remargined at right with old paper.
Homann, Johann Baptist 1720 Atlas Novus Terrarum Orbis Imperia, Regna et Status Exactis Tabulis Geographice Demonstrans...

To his right are Mercury, with winged helmet and caduceus, and Cybele, goddess of cities, representing civilization. Behind Cybele is Aeolus, god of the winds. From a later plate engraved by Michael Rossler circa 1720. 11" W x 18.9" H On watermarked paper with a small damp stain in the title cartouche, light soiling, primarily visible in the blank margins, and several edge tears, a few of which just touch the neatline.
Homann Heirs, 1762 Atlas Homannianus Mathematico-Historice Delineatus An evocative title page with a large globe and three female figures.

The top of the map is balanced with a pair of putti holding the banner title, while below Apollo in his sun-chariot greets a personification of the North Star as night passes into day. Drawn by Johann Justin Preister and engraved by Andreas Hoffer. 10.8" W x 18.6" H Watermarked paper with marginal soiling.
