This 1601 engraving by an anonymous artist is a detailed depiction of a title cartouche for a book titled "Geographia Sacra," or "Sacred Geography." The cartouche features a rectangular frame with decorative scrolls and chains on each end, signifying the importance of the text within. The scrollwork on the frame, with its intricate detail, indicates the skill of the anonymous artist. The small size of the cartouche suggests it would have been used as a title page illustration in a smaller book or atlas.
