A beautiful hand painted Printed Book of Hours with Twelve full page colored Images.
Georgette de Montenay’s emblem book stands at the crossroads of Reformation devotion and early modern innovation: the first emblem book ever written by a woman and the earliest to use copper engravings rather than woodcuts. The 1619 Frankfurt edition preserves her pioneering vision in a refined Protestant “Stammbuch” format.
