Title Page Design for Johannes Janssonius van Waesberge, Atlas Contractus

View through Europeana Collections
Johannes van Waesberge continued the cartography and publishing firm of his father-in-law Johannes Janssonius, incorporating the latter’s name into his own. In this title page Zacharias Webber depicted three seated men, namely the eminent geographers Gerard Mercator with a hat, Jodocus Hondius, and at the left, as a tribute, Johannes Janssonius. In the background is Atlas with the Earth on his shoulders; the woman with a compass at the right personifies Geography.
