Engraved b Andreas Hoffer, this magnificent titlepage appeared in the "Atlas Homannianus" published by his heirs. It was designed by Justin Priestler who, Shirley points out, also signed the frontispiece to Doppelmayr's celestial atlas. In the foreground the female figures of Geography, History and Astronomy stand before a celestial globe. Above them the atlas title is supported on a banner held by two putti and beneath them is an image of Apollo and Luna.
