Attractive title page with the figures of a knight and a queen and two putti holding the coat of arms. The space for the title is left blank, but the engraving was done for editions of Jansson's Atlas Novus. It was a common practice for publishers to print the titles on separate sheets that were pasted into the space left on the engraving.
