 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.

 Frontispiece. Beguin.   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Originally the frontispiece was the title page of an ornamented book (from the latin frontispicium meaning 'show the front").
Frontispieces reached their finest expression when Balthasar Moretus, successor of the great Antwerp printer Plantin, was able to convince his friend P.P.Rubens to draw some frontispieces which were then engraved on copper plates by professional engravers and printed.
More recently the frontispiece has come to be an illustration on the half title page facing the title page or then on the recto of a page preceding the title page.

Maria Sybilla Merian (1647-1717), born in Germany, was a descendant of a family of botanical artists.
