About This Item
c. 1730. Copper engraved allegorical title page, 50 x 28 cms, modern hand colour, left hand margin reinforced (just touching printed border), blank verso. This title-page, engraved by Romeyn de Hooge, seems to have been used first by Hubert Jaillot in Paris c. 1695, and was subsequently employed by Pieter Mortier (who had a close working relationship with Jaillot) and his heirs. Europe, seated, accepts tribute from the other continents: Asia, Africa and America. In the foreground river and sea deities empty their vases of ceaselessly flowing water. Shirley, Courtiers & Cannibals, 72. Map
