1693rif. 373381Alexis-Hubert Jaillot Paris 1693. Unframed Print. Very Good Condition. This richly allegorical frontispiece heralds Le Neptune Franois as a monument of maritime aspiration. At its centre Neptune the Roman god of the sea sits enthroned trident aloft amidst a teeming aquatic pageant of tritons nereids and fantastical sea beasts. A radiant celestial figure above unveils the title banner signalling divine favour while a distant fleet underscores Frances burgeoning naval prowess under Louis XIV.Commissioned during the height of French ambitions to dominate the seas the plates theatrical excess belies its practical function as the portal to a technical atlas. Though the charts within were largely Dutch in origin this frontispiece reframes them through the lens of French royal propaganda. Engraving 37 x 51 cms; sheet 47 x 61 cms Text is in French.
