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 colourreproduction 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., is of absorbing interest.
