Things I've picked up along the way...

Pretty medieval manuscript of the day is a sparkling Italian Book of Hours from the fifteenth century. Another beauty from the collection of the New York Public Library, it shows a rather solemn looking Virgin Mary holding the infant Christ. The lavish border includes a scene of the Annunciation, plus some old testament figures. Image source: Spencer Collection MS 045, New York Public Library. Image believed to be in the public domain.
