Catholic Church, Kerver, Thielmann, -1522, printer · 1505 · [Paris : Thielmann Kerver] · 6 pictures

A Book of Hours printed in Paris in 1505 by Thielmann Kerver for lay devotion, following the Roman use of the Catholic Church. The pages show woodcut illustrations framed by ornate Gothic borders, with red and black initials opening each prayer. A designer could draw on the dense woodcut framing, with its vines, figures and architectural niches, for period-style borders and title pages.
