It’s time to share this month’s digitized books. Both of them will be dedicated to illumination and both were published in the middle of the 19th century. Today’s book is A Guide to Beginners in the Art of Illumination by A. H. Warren.

I found this convoluted volume of five books dedicated to illumination on the book market in the Hague. And I like this collection, especially as some of these bound together books aren’t often available for sale.

• A Guide to Beginners in the Art of Illumination by Albert H. Warren
• On ornamental art, applied to ancient and modern bookbinding (by Joseph Cundall). Read to the meeting of the Society of Arts held November 1847.
• 16 text pages + 21 plates. Published by House of the Society of Arts (London), 1860.
• If you find any OCR errors, please send us a message.

As usual, the book is available for download to our patrons at Patreon with pledges starting at only $3 per month. Alternatively, you can buy the digital copy at our Issuu account.
