The arts in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance
A survey of medieval and Renaissance decorative art by the French antiquarian Paul Lacroix, writing as P. L. Jacob, issued in Walter Armstrong's English edition by J. S. Virtue in London in 1886 for collectors and general readers. Wood engravings copy manuscript miniatures, carved reliefs, ivories and stamped bindings, mixing flat outline drawings of figures at work with shaded tonal plates and panels of repeating ornament.
