Giotto
Giotto, a London art book of 1880 by Harry Quilter, published by Sampson Low, Marston, Searle and Rivington, written for readers of Renaissance painting. Its pictures are rotated scans: a black-and-white engraving of seated figures in a rustic setting, a line view of a hillside town, a colour plate of a Madonna with saints in gold grounds, and a photograph of an enthroned crowned woman in a Gothic niche, with gold leaf backgrounds and pale architectural frames a designer could borrow for palette and arch framing.
