Riguardo questo articolo

[no place, no publisher] [no date, prob circa mid-late twentieth c.] Original anonymous art in the form of a French Medieval Book of Months with miniature prints. See scans. Folio [14" x 10.75"], 12 sheets bound in marbled wraps. Minor tattering of the marbled wraps, as well as some bleed-through of the hand-marbling on each cover sheet, else Near Fine. Each page has the name of a different month in orange script, in French, at the lower right corner, with a gilt-embellished full-color miniature medieval print of unknown [but probably modern] origin tipped-in above in each case, the subject of which corresponds to that page's particular month. Versos have large original pen-and-ink drawings in orange ink, mostly bacchanalian in nature, unsigned. Format is broken by December, which is on the verso of November and which therefore lacks its own facing drawing, and by an even larger two-page pen-and-ink drawing between June and July. Well-executed art, striking in orange. Artist unknown, but some of the drawings are reminiscent of some Emlen Etting sketches. See scans. lg7.
