The "Frontispiece to Vermis Sericus: The Silkworm" is a notable engraving by Theodor Galle (1571–1633), after a design by the Flemish artist Giovanni Stradano, also known as Jan van der Straet (1523–1605). This work was created as part of a collaborative project that highlighted the life cycle of the silkworm and the production of silk, which was a significant industry during the Renaissance period. The frontispiece serves as an introductory illustration for a series of engravings that were both educational and artistic, aiming to disseminate knowledge about sericulture while showcasing the skill of the artists involved.

The engraving is a testament to the exchange of knowledge and the fascination with natural history in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. It is also an example of the collaboration between artists and engravers during this period, where painters like Stradano would create designs that engravers like Galle would then translate into prints. These prints were widely distributed, allowing for the spread of scientific information alongside the appreciation of the visual arts.

The "Frontispiece to Vermis Sericus: The Silkworm" is characterized by its intricate details and the combination of both scientific illustration and allegorical elements. It reflects the Renaissance interest in the natural world and the humanistic approach to learning. The work is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its contribution to the understanding of sericulture in early modern Europe. The engraving is an important piece within the oeuvre of both Stradano and Galle, and it remains a valuable historical document for the study of art, science, and industry during the Renaissance.
