One of three frontispieces, from Ricreatione dell'occhio e della mente nell'offeruation' delle chiocciole, 1681: "In Buonanni's "Ricreatione" nearly 450 different shells are represented by fine detailed engravings preceded by descriptive text of each specimen. The three exceptional frontispieces are the work of the Baroque artist Giovanni Francesco Venturini (1650-1710). The first two different but similar frontispieces depict Poseidon in his conch shell chariot drawn by dolphins and seahorses within borders adorned by mermen and rocky cliffs on which men and women collect shells. The final frontispiece is a creative Arcimboldo-like grotesque made entirely of shells." (according to http://vasaribooks.blogspot.de/)

Please note that the lettering shown in the bottom of the uploaded image does not match the words written along the bottom of the illustration shown as the frontispiece of the book Museum Kircherianum sive Museaeum A.P. Athanasio_Kircher written by Filippo Bonanni, printed in Rome in 1709 (according to [1]) which was proposed as a possible alternative source for this image. The main part of the drawings is very similar.
