'Socio ditata labore': With the just vanquished dragon on the right, Jason and the Argonauts are preparing to take off with Medea and the Golden Fleece.
Etching and engraving on hand laid paper, sheet size 243 x 156 mm., platemark 127 x 83 mm., made by Jan Wandelaar after his own design. This print was used as a title vignette in: Covens & Mortier's 'Atlas Nouveau, contenant toutes les parties du Monde […]', Amsterdam : Covens & Mortier, 1742. However, there is printed text immediately above and below the image on the title page (and the page is a lot larger than here), so this may be a proof printing or separate printing of the plate used in that book.
In excellent condition, minimal soiling in the lower left margin corner.
