A mirror image of an allegorical frontispiece shows through the paper from the front side. The composition features a central architectural structure, possibly a triumphal arch, with a circular emblem at the top. To the right, two figures, likely allegorical personifications, hold a large, draped banner containing the title text. To the left, four circular medallions are stacked vertically, each containing a distinct scene, likely representing the four continents. At the bottom of the page is a wide, horizontal rectangular panel depicting a maritime harbor scene with several sailing ships and a cityscape on the horizon. All elements, including the figures and text, appear in reverse.
