"Principatus Cataloniae nec non Comitatuum Ruscinonensis et Cerretaniae Nova Tabula", Homann, Johann Baptist

The splendid, allegorical cartouche at right shows Perseus about to decapitate the fearsome Medusa, and a figure representing Catalonia is kneeling before a monarch, to illustrate the surrender of Catalonia to Felipe V of Spain during the War of the Spanish Succession.
