Titelprent met links Ptolemaeus en rechts Marinus 1644 - 1717

This anonymous title page, dated between 1644 and 1717, depicts two historical figures, Ptolemy and Marinus, flanking a blank space likely intended for a title. The figures are both depicted in robes and holding navigational tools, a nod to their contributions to cartography and geography. The architectural setting, with its pillars and globe, emphasizes the intellectual and scientific pursuits of the time. The work, held at the Rijksmuseum, is an excellent example of early modern printmaking and its ability to combine illustrative elements with textual space.
