Frontispiece to 'Le sorti di Francesco Marcolini da Forli intitolato Giardino di Pensieri'. Artist: After Marco Dente (Italian, Ravenna, active by 1515-died 1527 Rome); Giuseppe Salviati (Giuseppe Porta, called Il Salviati) (Italian, Castelnuovo di Garfagnana ca. 1520-ca. 1575 Venice). Dimensions: sheet: 9 7/16 x 7 5/8 in. (23.9 x 19.3 cm). Date: 1540.This woodcut of a scholarly gathering is fully signed by Giuseppe Salviati yet is an almost exact copy of an engraving by Marco Dente, who died in 1527. The only changes are the adaptation of the book in the foreground to represent Marcolini's fortune-telling book and the addition of the pack of cards required for divination. That Giuseppe so prominently signed a copy suggests that he cut the block himself-indeed, it was usually the cutter rather than the designer who signed or monogrammed a woodblock.

Speculum Romanae Magnificentiae: Ancient bas-reliefs with Laocoon ca. 1516-20 () Marco Dente Italian This print comes from the museum’s copy of the Speculum Romanae Magnificentiae (The Mirror of Roman Magnificence) The Speculum found its origin in the publishing endeavors of Antonio Salamanca and Antonio Lafreri. During their Roman publishing careers, the two foreign publishers - who worked together between 1553 and 1563 - initiated the production of prints recording art works, architecture and city views related to Antique and Modern Rome. The prints could be bought individually by tourists and collectors, but were also purchased in larger groups which were often bound together in an album. In 1573, Lafreri commissioned a title page for this purpose, which is where the title ‘Speculum Romanae Magnificentiae’ first appears. Lafreri envisioned an ideal arrangement of the prints in 7 different categories, but during his lifetime, never appears to have offered one standard, bound set of
