"Robert Herrick (1591–1674)" is an engraving by William Marshall used as the frontispiece to the first edition of English poet Robert Herrick's collection of poems, "Hesperides," published in 1648. The engraving is a significant piece of visual art from the 17th century, serving as a portrait of Herrick, who is considered one of the most important poets of the Cavalier period. The image depicts Herrick in a classical pose, with a laurel wreath on his head, symbolizing his status as a poet. The inclusion of various symbolic elements, such as a lyre and a book, further emphasizes his vocation and the pastoral and lyrical qualities of his poetry.

The frontispiece itself is a fine example of Marshall's work, who was a prominent engraver of the time, known for his portraits and illustrations that adorned numerous books and publications. The engraving not only served as a means of identification for readers but also as a marketing tool to attract a contemporary audience with its intricate and emblematic design. The artistry of the engraving complements the poetic content of "Hesperides," which contains Herrick's most famous poem, "To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time," with its classic line "Gather ye rosebuds while ye may."

The frontispiece is an important artifact for understanding the interplay between visual and literary arts in the 17th century, as well as the role of the engraver in the early modern book trade. It provides insight into the ways books were produced and consumed during Herrick's time, and it remains a subject of interest for scholars studying the period's literature and art history.
