Art and Book Combine


How amazing is this!  Especially when this was made back when everything was done by hand in lamplight.  Everything from the pigmants to the brushes were all painstakingly hand made!!!!  I think we've gotten a little lazy now days :-)  No wonder books were among the most treasured objects back in the day.

Book of Hours
 How awe inspiring is the work that went into this?  How many hours do you think went into this book? Do you think I can get my Hubbin to shell out 30,000 dollars to get me this for Christmas?
