1662373391Printed for Henry Seile over against St. Dunstans Church in Fleetstreet London 1662. Unframed Print. Fair Condition. The engraved title page of Peter Heylyn's Cosmographie 1652 serves as a striking visual preface to a work of ambitious geographical and ideological scope. Centred beneath the divine dictum Dixit factum est a radiant dove signals the text's theological underpinnings framing worldly knowledge as divinely sanctioned. Flanking the title are personifications of the four continents; Europe dominant the others rendered in stylised exoticism reflecting a Eurocentric worldview. A terrestrial globe reinforces the expanding reach of English scholarship and empire while the Virgilian motto below invokes classical gravitas. Together these elements present the page as both scholarly authority and cultural artefact of its age. Engraving 18 x 29 cms sheet 23 x 34 cms. Torn with loss to the bottom left corner and to the right blank margins. Category: PRINTS : Antiquarian Interest; Antiquarian & Rare; PRINTS : Historic Interest; Special Features.
