Illustrations of one hundred manuscripts in the library of Henry Yates Thompson ..
A 1907 photographic facsimile volume from the Chiswick Press, London, compiled by collector Henry Yates Thompson to show one hundred medieval manuscripts from his library for connoisseurs and scholars of illumination. The pictures are full-page and border miniatures in gothic styles: enthroned figures in roundels, a rubricated text page with a framed scene, a vine-scrolled border with a foliate and gilded frame, and small grotesque figures in the margins. A designer might take the arched frames, dense ivy and vine borders, and gold-and-ink decorative hierarchy as layout models.
