Abstract
The paper presents the main stages of frontispieces formation that are seen as special visual aids in logic textbooks of the Early Modern Period: from separate book illustrations inside the text to so-called broadsides and thesis prints, and from them to frontispieces. The main differences between these types of visual aids are demonstrated using the same image of a sailing ship on the engraved title of F. Bacon’s “Instauratio magna” (1620), in J. Cheron’s broadside (1622), in B. Kroner’s thesis print (1669) and S. Groser’s frontispiece “Pharus intellectus” (1697).
