Titelpagina voor: Sam. Marolois, Geometrie, 1616 1616

This title page for a 1616 book on geometry by Sam Marolois was engraved by Hendrick Hondius I. The artwork depicts two figures, one male and one female, flanking a shield that features geometric symbols, tools, and the book's title. The scene likely alludes to the importance of geometry in construction and fortification, a field Marolois was known for. Hondius, a skilled engraver, used a detailed style and stark contrasts to depict the figures and objects, making this a visually rich and informative artwork.
