Les miniaturistes français
A scholarly survey of French manuscript illumination by the art historian Henry Martin, published in Paris in 1906 by H. Leclerc for students and connoisseurs of medieval book painting. The pictures are reproductions of French miniatures, mostly showing Gothic architectural framing, scribes at lecterns, and interiors with figures in long robes. A designer might take from them the compartmented layouts, framed panels with tracery, and the way text scrolls are integrated into the picture field.
