Engraved frontispiece to a 1632 London edition of Ovid's poems, George Sandys, translator. The University of Virginia's Ovid Illustrated: The Renaissance Reception of Ovid in Image and Text shows this engraving: click on "title-page of George Sandys' Ovids Metamorphosis Englished." for frontispieces.
