English illuminated manuscripts
English illuminated manuscripts by Sir Edward Maunde Thompson, published in London in 1895 by K. Paul, Trench, Trübner and company, is a scholarly survey of medieval English manuscript painting for students and collectors of book illumination. The plates reproduce framed miniatures, historiated initials and border ornament, with tinted line work in Gothic architectural frames, a seated scholar at a desk, and a biblical scene with a tree and animals that a designer could draw on for interlace borders, figure groupings and medieval framing devices.
