Ulrich Boner: Edelstein
Ulrich Boner's Edelstein is a 1466 German verse fable collection, a manuscript copy held by a Swiss library and written for a general reading audience. The pictures are small hand-painted miniatures in ochre and brown wash with ink-drawn animals, a seated ruler and lettered text columns, offering a designer sketchy, storybook characters and decorative initial letters to borrow.
