Examples of the art of book-illumination during the middle ages : reproduced in facsimile
A facsimile plate book published in London in 1889 by Bernard Quaritch, with chromolithographs by William Griggs, reproducing medieval manuscript illumination for collectors and scholars of book art. The plates show decorated initials, framed miniatures, and ornamental borders, including a Mexican codex page, so a designer can study historic gold-and-colour page layouts, border motifs, and framed scene compositions.
