Blaeu’s title page of the Theatrum Orbis Terrarum or Atlas Novus
Willem Blaeu inserted this title page for the first time in his Appendix in 1630. The cover print survived many atlas editions for over 30 years. Only the text on the vignettes changed.
This is the Latin title page of the Atlas Novus, in use by Willem Blaeu (✝in 1638) and Joan Blaeu between 1649 and 1655.
One notices left and top right of the goddess Juno and the god Apollo with lyre. Around them one notices Air (holding a chameleon), Fire, Earth (with fruit) and water (with an urn). Among the celestial and earth globes, in the niches are Peru (at the left) and Mexico (at the right) right represented. Further, four persons illustrating the continents: an Asian with a camel, a European woman, an Indian and an African with an elephant.
