Italian book illustrations : chiefly of the fifteenth century

Pollard, Alfred W. (Alfred William), 1859-1944 · 1894 · London : Seeley ; New York : Macmillan · 29 pictures

Italian Renaissance illustrated book compiled by Alfred W. Pollard and published in London and New York in 1894, drawn from fifteenth-century printed books and aimed at students of early printing and book illustration. The four woodcut pictures show kneeling figures in an arched interior, a crowd around a seated robed figure, a bishop with a crozier beside a burning pile, and a table meal beside a forest of hares, all in plain black outline with bordered frames a designer could borrow for compositional staging.
