Amherst, William Amhurst Tyssen-Amherst, Baron, 1835-1909, Ricci, Seymour de, 1881-1942 · 1906 · Cambridge, University press, priv. print. · 1 picture

A privately printed 1906 hand-list by Seymour de Ricci cataloguing the rare books and manuscripts of Lord Amherst of Hackney, produced at Cambridge University Press for a small circle of collectors. The single picture shows a page from a medieval manuscript with black-letter text in two columns, framed by an ornate border of dense foliage scrolls, a cartouche with a small coat of arms, and gilded flourishes that suggest painted manuscript decoration.
