Crohin-La Fontaine Hours
The Crohin-La Fontaine Hours is a Book of Hours, a devotional prayer book made around 1480 for lay readers, with its text in Latin and its pages framed by painted borders. Its pictures are small, jewel-coloured miniatures set among gold scrollwork, flowers, and berries, which a designer might use as a model for decorative borders, initials, and ornamental pattern.
