Illustrations of one hundred manuscripts in the library of Henry Yates Thompson ..
A 1907 collector's catalogue printed in London at the Chiswick Press by Henry Yates Thompson, reproducing one hundred of his illuminated manuscripts for a bibliophile readership. The pictures are black-and-white photographic plates: an Italian verse page with a decorated initial and vine-like border, a miniature of robed figures with a lute-like instrument, a seated group in a canopied interior with a standing attendant, and a page of large capitals set against stippled bands. A designer might take the decorated initial, the stippled bands and the spacing of manuscript text as models for historical typography.
