The Psalms of David, illuminated by Owen Jones and published in London by Day & Son in 1861, is a decorative showcase of psalm texts for an English audience of designers and collectors. Its plates show Gothic-revival illumination: pink, blue and gold foliage borders, interlaced initials and capitals that a designer could adapt for headings, panels and printed ornament.
