Many books published in the years between 1550 and 1660 had an elaborate engraved title-page. The Comely Frontispiece (1979) selects title-pages which represent theology, philosophy, history, poetry, medicine and explains that these pages were not mere ornaments but visual epitomes of significant aspects of the book.
