Description
An impressive frontispiece engraved by Jan van Vianen, from the first edition of Mortier's 'Atlas Maritime, Neptune François'.
This was one of the most spectacular cartographical works ever produced. According to Koeman: the most expensive sea-atlas ever published in Amsterdam.
The element of water dominates the engraving in an awesome maritime scene rich in mythological and allegorical figures, with a sea battle in the background.
Reference: Koeman, Atlantes, IV, M.Mor 1A: M.Mor 5,E.
