ATLAS

A hand-colored engraving depicts the mythological figure Atlas. He is portrayed as a muscular, bearded man draped in a red cloak, supporting a dark celestial canopy on his shoulders. He stands atop a large terrestrial globe which shows the Eastern Hemisphere. The continents are labeled "EUROPA", "ASIA", and "AFRICA". The oceans are labeled "OCEANUS ETHIOPICUS" and "MAR DI INDIA". To the left of the globe, a golden sun with rays is visible, and to the right, a white moon hangs in a blue sky. The entire illustration is set within a simple rectangular frame with a white box at the bottom containing the publisher's information.
