Very uncommon title page from the last Latin edition of Ortelius' Parergon atlas. Beautifully engraved with a man holding a celestial globe on the left and a woman with a terrestrial globe on the right, and mythical figures above. The verso contains a full page engraving of Philipp IV's coat of arms. Includes the dedication page. A bit of surface soil and two tiny abrasions, else very good.
