This stunning print captures the intricate title page of an atlas by Reiner Ottens, titled "Atlas maior cvm generales omnivm totivs orbis," published in Amsterdam in 1729. The engraving showcases four mythological figures representing different elements of the world: Atlas, Cybele (the Goddess of the earth), Geography, and Neptune (the God of the seas). Each figure is intricately detailed and symbolizes a different aspect of our planet.
