With the collector's marks of duc d'Arenberg (Lugt 567) and J. Fred. Bianchi (Lugt 3761). The monogram in the print seems to point to a Salviati, but the attribution is inconclusive. The British Museum, curator comment: "Bartsch erroneously attributed this work to Marco da Ravenna and suggested that it was engraved after Francesco Salviati. The engraving however was made after a woodcut by Giuseppe Porta Salviati (...) as a frontispiece to "Le Sorti di Francesco Marcolini da Forlì intitolate Giardino di Pensieri" which appeared in 1540 and again in 1550. (No impression of the woodcut is in the BM.) As Marco died in 1527 the work must have been executed in his manner by a younger artist". However, the curator comment of the New York Metropolitan Museum on the woodcut by Salviati: "The evocative woodcut that adorns the frontispiece of this fortune-telling book is prominently signed by the artist Giuseppe Porta (ca. 1520-ca. 1575) (...), who later took the name Salviati (...). However, the composition is not original to Porta but closely copies an engraving by Marco Dente, a student of Marcantonio Raimondi who died in the Sack of Rome of 1527 (...)".
