[Heures a lusaige de Troyes]

Catholic Church · 1515 · [Paris : For Simon Vostre] · 7 pictures

A Book of Hours printed in Paris in 1515 by Simon Vostre for lay devotional use, with woodcut borders and framed scenes. The pictures are black-and-white woodcuts with dense foliage borders, saints, and narrative panels of religious events, with one page showing a Gothic-arched strip of small figures in a tall architectural frame; a designer could take from them the decorative interplay of ornamental borders, arched panels, and tree-of-life motifs.
