The Book of Common Prayer [...], 1849
THE BOOK of Common Prayer, And Administration of the Sacraments [...]. London: George E. Eyre and William Spottiswoode, 1849.
1 v.; 225 mm.
A beautiful fore-edge painting depicting a view of St. Paul's Cathedral and Blackfriars Bridge in London. Fore-edge paintings were an exquisite form of book decoration in which hand-painted scenes were applied to the front edge of the pages (usually only visible when the pages were folded slightly). By hiding these paintings in the edges, books became both objects of luxury and artistic surprise, reflecting the combination of craftsmanship and literature valued at the time.
