Ilhe legend this month reads as follows:'This smnail pic- ture was cut troin a page ot the book,, l'le Medittots of Žsatmt liostaventtura, which was printed in Fclorence by, Mis- comaini before the year 1495. 'i.heý art Di Printing was introduced at Florence in 1471. by 'Bernardû Cennini, a. metal- worker and associae of the great Ghi- berti, whose. bronze doors for the Bap- tistrywere said by Michelan geld to be truly the -Gates to Paradise.". .Many books 'had been print.ed by 1490 but ýso. far as wc, know, none up to this time had been illustrated. with. woodcutts,, though there, were, at this period, fÙlly thir ty-s even, book presses: in Florence capable of turning out printed books with illustrations such -as this one. *elorentine llustration, Florentine, book illustrations are few in nlumber,. if compared with those of Venice and Rome, for the art flourished in Florence for only about twenty years, but the resuits show a charm and orig2 inality wbich is exclus-ively their own. Strangely enougb, nothing of the manu- 1script tradition remains in these Floren- 1tine cuts, and they were neyer made for coloring or illuminating, as was some-. turnes the case further north. Theré are three outstanding features in Florentine illustration:- the breaking up of the black earth or "carpet" with small hori- zontal white lines, as you set it done here; the lrawing of the figures in simple outline, with little or no shading; and, in alniost every case, the addition of a simple border. Prints D.acribed The secret charm of these littie p'rints lies in their perfect adaptation to theirý use as illustrations, the siniplicity of their execution in outline drawing being in complete harmony with printed type. The pictures genera-lize thes.ceneè they represent and: do plot attempt a minute portrayal ýof some special event told in. the text, and therefore they were adapt7- able as illustrations for more than one book.
