Te Deum laudamus

Nicetas, of Remesiana, Saint, -approximately 414 author · 1868 · [London] : Emily Faithfull, Printer & Publisher in Ordinary to Her Majesty · 25 pictures

A Victorian illuminated text printed in London in 1868 by Emily Faithfull's press, reproducing the Te Deum and Latin-derived prayers as decorated pages for readers interested in devotional and medieval-revival design. The pictures are chromolithographed framed panels with capital letters, twining vine borders, jewel-toned geometric bands, and gold-patterned grounds, offering a designer ready models for historicist borders, initials and manuscript-style page layouts.
