Sadeler scalpt. excud.*, and in the lower right-hand corner: *Gen: cap: 1*. Numbered III at the top centre. Four Latin lines in the lower margin: Aequora secedunt; Tellus emergit ab unda, / Numinis imperio: squallet et aret humus. / Mox surgunt montes nemorosi: frondibus, arbos; / Frugibus, arva virent. germine, vernat ager.

This composition, typical of Flemish Mannerism, illustrates the close collaboration between Maerten de Vos—one of the most sought-after draughtsmen by Antwerp engravers—and Johann Sadeler, who undertook both the engraving and the publication of the work.
