Shaw, Henry A HANDBOOK OF THE ART OF ILLUMINATION AS PRACTISED DURING THE MIDDLE AGES With a Description of the Metals, Pigments, and Processes Employed by the Artist At Different Periods
London Bell And Daldy 1866 Hardcover
This a beautifully illustrated book about early manuscript illumination. It is unusual in that color has not been used as usual. Instead the text and illustrations are in light brown ink. It provides a new way of looking at the art of the letters, flourishes, and drawings, though the intention was to produce a more affordable book. The binding and paper used was not lost. The thick book boards are beveled, stamped in an intricate decorative style on the front and rear and slightly on the spine. The front of the book is gilt filled. The title and flourish on the spine is in gilt. There is some chipping to the cloth on the spine and lightly on the corners. A dark brick red-brown color was used for the cloth. The end papers are a dark brown coated paper. There is a small former owner simple plate. The pages are crisp and quite clean except for an occasional page with a smudge. All edges are brightly gilded. The binding is tight. Some Illustrated examples are on full page plates, others are in the text. Some of the artists participating in this work were: James D. Cooper, Mrs. Gould, Miss Bufield, Joseph F. Williams, R. B. Utting. ; 4to; 66 pages
