Description:
Title page showing Faith and Religion as pillars upholding the Spanish monarchy within an aedicule or classical architectural element. The Spanish king sits holding a sword and scepter with his foot on the globe between America and Spain. Two figures representing allegorical representations of Spain (a soldier in armor holding a sheaf of wheat) and America (with feathered headdress and holding a sheaf of corn or maize) flank him. Two vignettes at the bottom of the pillars show a man battling a many-headed snake with the motto: "Domat omnia virtus," and a beehive with the motto: "Omnia nos itidem." Also includes the royal Spanish coat of arms and a parrot. The globe is held by Neptune or Poseidon with his trident resting on a shell in the ocean. The figure of Faith holds a cross, chalice and host; the figure of Religion holds a pelican feeding its chicks from its breast.
