Published as part of Antonio Lafreri's Speculum Romanae Magnificentiae (The Mirror of Roman Magnificence). It is likely that individuals who purchased the prints from Lafreri made their own selections and had them bound. For a history of the publication of the Speculum prints, see Peter Parshall, "Antonio Lafreri's Speculum Romanae Magnificentiae," Print Quarterly, 2001 (1-28).
