Source of image
The Wikipedia article Mannerism incorrectly describes this image as the "frontispiece" of the 1568 "Lives of the Artists" (actually Le vite de' piu eccellenti pittori, scultori, e archittetori). The title page (or frontispiece) to that book contains the title, author, etc. printed within a border, not this image. See Ruth Mortimer, Harvard College Library Dept. of Printing and Graphic Arts Catalogue of Books and Manuscripts, Part II: Italian 16th Century Books, Cambridge, 1974, no. 515. This image apparently comes from the same book on leaf B4v. I will correct the misstatement. See Mortimer, p. 713. Ecphora (talk) 03:01, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
