	Antiques Roadshow/Antique Speak: Frontispiece
		Before we get into the details of the word frontispiece (FRUN-tis-peace), Marsha Malinowski, senior vice president of the books and manuscripts department at Sotheby's in New York City, wants to make one thing very clear: A book's frontispiece is not its title page and its title page is not its frontispiece.
		The frontispiece, however, is the illustration on the page that faces or immediately precedes the title page of a book or magazine.
		The illustration might depict a character you will be meeting or a far-away land you will soon be visiting." Often readers consider the frontispiece almost irrelevant but Malinowski thinks that a careful look at the page is worth the time.
