The sermon on the Mount

Audsley, W. (William), 1833-1907 · 1861 · [London?] : [publisher not identified] · 11 pictures

A chromolithographed illuminated text of the Sermon on the Mount, made by William Audsley in London around 1861 for readers wanting a decorative scriptural volume. Its pages set Gothic black-letter scripture inside dense borders of foliage, interlace and illuminated initials in red, blue, green and gold, giving designers a model for medieval-style ornament, decorative capitals and manuscript-inspired page layout.
