Engraved frontispiece from an Italian version of Delisle's atlas published by Girolamo Albrizzi. The architectural framework is flanked by male and female Roman soldiers and at top a pair of putti hold aloft a red velvet drape. Cartouches contain a vignette of the city of Venice, where the atlas was published, and the symbol for the Society of Jesus.
