Library & Archives In Focus: Through the Frontispiece

About

Engraved frontispieces emerged in early modern Europe as gateways to books.

Produced by skilled engravers, they combined portraiture, allegory, and decorative design to signal a work's themes, prestige, and authorship. Step through the frontispiece, and discover how a single image can open the door to an entire narrative.

This is a free drop-in event; no booking is required
