BOOK
OF KELLS
THE BOOK
OF KELLS
WITH ABOUT FIFTY ILLUSTRATIONS
IN COLOURS
PRICE 12s 6d NET
(Postage extra : Inland, 7d.; Abroad, Is. 4d.)
THE BOOK OF KELLS has been described by
Professor Westwood as “the most beautiful book in
the world.0 Those who have seen and studied the
consummate beauty of this gem of Celtic manuscript,
its rich and subtle colouring, its amazing 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 particularly
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., is of absorbing interest.
