This bold title page centers on a large globe that supports the allegorical figure of Europa with the other continents gathered around the globe with mythical figures, putti and soldiers. Despite its flaws, it is still a very graphic sheet that will display well framed.

Bold original color and good impression. Toned with margins trimmed nearly to neatlines. Several pinholes in border have been repaired with facsimile. Rust spot in cartouche.
