Exclusive illustrations to colour in carefully selected from the
British Library's archive. Before the invention of the printing
press, books were written out by hand, and were priceless objects.
The most precious books were illuminated with pictures highlighted
with gold or with bright colours. Real and imaginary animals
populated the pages of medieval books, particularly encyclopedias.
This new colouring book is packed with familiar and exotic
creatures carefully selected from the extensive collection of the
British Library. The animal illustrations have been sourced from a
range of documents, including charters and seals and historical and
literary manuscripts, from Homer to the Codex Sinaiticus, from
Beowulf to Chaucer, and from Magna Carta to the papers of Henry
VIII and Elizabeth I. Each of the original drawings is reproduced
in colour, so that you can decide whether you prefer to choose your
own colours, or to use the colours that the artist intended. With
key facts about each of the animals and their source, this is the
perfect book for animal lovers, history buffs and colouring-in
fanatics alike.
