This image is an intricately detailed engraving featuring a mix of mythological and allegorical elements. At the top, a banner reading "HISTORIA COELESTIS" is held aloft by a group of putti, or cherubic figures. Below this banner, there are two classical figures standing on either side of a circular frame, holding scientific instruments—a compass and a celestial globe—symbolizing the study of astronomy or the heavens. Surrounding the central figures is a rich tapestry of clouds and more putti engaged in various activities, some of whom are observing the stars through a telescope, suggesting celestial observation and discovery. At the bottom of the image, to the left, there is a seated figure appearing to be an allegorical representation of a king or ancient ruler overwhelmed by nature or the passage of time, possibly a personification of terrestrial power contrasted with the celestial theme above. To his right, another figure reaches out imploringly, perhaps signifying a seeker of knowledge or an appeal to the heavens for wisdom. The details at the bottom include a signature indicating the involvement of a person named "G.B. Catenaro" in creating the image and "Geo: Vertue Sculp", which signifies that George Vertue was the engraver (sculptor). The overall theme appears to be the celebration or study of celestial bodies and the contrast between human endeavors and celestial permanence, with the human figures engaged in scholarly and observational activities concerning astronomy.

The artwork is executed in a detailed engraving style, with fine line work creating depth and texture. The artist signatures appear at the bottom: "G.B. Catenaro In. et delin." and "Geo. Vertue sculp." indicating this was designed by Catenaro and engraved by George Vertue. This type of frontispiece would typically have appeared in an important astronomical or scientific treatise of the period, combining classical allegory with scientific instrumentation to represent the pursuit of celestial knowledge.
