SECOND IMPRESSION
The Book of Kells
With about Fifty Illustrations in Colours
Price 30s. net
THE BOOK OF KELLS has been described by
Professor Westwood as " the most beautiful book
in the world." Those who have seen and studied
the consummate beauty of this gem of Celtic
manuscript, its rich and subtle colouring, its
amazingly intricate and gorgeous designs, its
quaint portraiture, and bold, legible text, are not
likely to question this description. The last
attempt to reproduce in colours pages of this
unique and wonderful book was made nearly forty
years ago. Since then photography and colour-
reproduction have made such rapid advances
towards accuracy that, with the permission of the
Authorities of Trinity College, Dublin, the Editor
of The Studio has issued a volume in which the
most beautiful and important pages and many of
the wonderful initials of the Book of Kells have
been reproduced in colours. For artists, and par-
ticularly for designers, the Book of Kells has
proved a fruitful source of inspiration ; indeed, to
all interested in art in any form this masterpiece
of illuminated manuscript is a household word.
The letterpress by Sir Edward Sullivan, Bart., u
of absorbing interest.
