THE FRONTISPIECE: what is it?
THE FRONTISPIECE: what is it?
According to the etymology, the title page (even) “in front” of the page (odd) on which appears the main title of the work. But now the term “title” is in common usage and in the graphic language to mean the page with the main title, with the indications of the author and publisher. On the front cover, generally, are placed (in the classical form) the author’s name and the title of the work.
