Excerpt from Medieval Alphabets and Initials for IlluminatorsThe illustrations for the most part speak for themselves the earlier ones will be found to exhibit all that strength and freedom of outline, combined with an almost quaint and very characteristic treatment, which distinguish the anglosaxon era in England and the Caroline in France. They will be found useful studies to beginners, whose hands have hardly acquired the lightness and delicacy of touch necessary for the styles of later periods.On Plate 9 will be found a few specimens of a style at once easy to practise and effective in execution. The pen may here be used with an almost reckless freedom.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
