197 x 130 mm. (7 3/4 x 5 1/8"). Single column, 28 lines, gothic typeface. Ruled in red, two one-line initials and two three-line initials painted in gold on red or blue ground, and A LOVELY, ANIMATED FULL PAINTED BORDER done by hand, with trompe-l'oeil flowers (one leaf also with a moth) on painted gold ground. Top margin a little small, light soiling to vellum, borders with a couple superficial scratches and tiny smudges, but in excellent condition overall. These beautifully embellished leaves from a printed Book of Hours demonstrate the enduring demand for manuscript illumination in the incunabular period and beyond. While the text here was completed on a printing press, the initials and borders were done entirely by hand, adding luxury and luster to otherwise unadorned pages. Although these leaves likely belonged to a Book of Hours printed in Paris (possibly an edition printed for Nicolas Viven in or around 1503), the trompe-l'oeil style seen in the borders was particularly popular among Flemish and Netherlandish illuminators of the period. Because of the artist's use of subtle shading to indicate shadows, the large blossoms here seem to pop off the page, and one of the leaves contains a delicate little moth--attracted, perhaps, by the gleaming painted gold ground.…

197 x 130 mm. (7 3/4 x 5 1/8"). Single column, 28 lines, gothic typeface. Ruled in red, each leaf with several one- to three-line initials painted gold on red or blue ground, and A LOVELY, ANIMATED FULL BORDER DONE IN MANUSCRIPT, with trompe-l'oeil flowers, a moth, a fly, and a bird, on painted gold ground. Light soiling and a couple small stains to vellum, one initial a bit smudged, but in excellent condition overall. This beautifully embellished leaf from a printed Book of Hours demonstrates the enduring demand for manuscript illumination in the incunabular period and beyond.

Although this leaf likely belonged to a Book of Hours printed in Paris (possibly an edition printed for Nicolas Vivien in or around 1503), the trompe-l'oeil style seen in the border was particularly popular among Flemish and Netherlandish illuminators of the period. The large blossoms and acanthus here seem to pop off the page because of the artist's use of subtle shading to indicate shadows, and there is additional pleasure to be found in the small creatures--a bird carrying a small flower, a moth, and a housefly--that share the space.…

Charming trompe-l'oeil of maps of European countries, on a decorated background, somewhat reminiscent of a church ceiling. It contains a French inscription "to my beloved parents", which together with some inconsistencies in the use of perspective, suggest a young French artist. The maps show some interesting departures from reality: in the Netherlands, parts of the province of Gelderland are shifted 50 kilometres to the north, replacing Zwolle with Arnhem, and Sweden lacks Stockholm but includes Copenhagen in place of Malmö. However, the most humorous is in the map of Germany, which lacks its western neighbours - the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxemburg and France - giving it an extensive North Sea coast. The gothic lettering is inconsistent in style, with the artist apparently improvising an alphabet for each inscription, in the process forgetting Denmark.Somewhat soiled and browned at the edges, with several white spots due to overpainting; the sheets are coming loose from one another. Brown and black ink, watercolour, chalk and gold paint on paper, mounted on several laminated sheets of paper (69.5 x 52.5 cm).…
