Published as part of Antonio Lafreri's Speculum Romanae Magnificentiae (The Mirror of Roman Magnificence). This print comes from a scrapbook of 3 volumes with inlaid engraved and etched plates. It is likely that individuals who purchased the prints from Lafreri made their own selections and had them bound.
