illuminated books


Una fantastica collezione online di libri illustrati, in massima parte vittoriani: “The Illuminated Books Project is a private non-profit, collaborative effort of three individuals, Alfredo Malchiodi, Anita Malchiodi and Carlos Alonso Cabezas, who share a vision to make available, in high-resolution, many illuminated and illustrated books from their private collections. These books are mainly from the 19th Century Victorian Period, Arts and Craft style and Private Presses extending from 1800’s to the 1920’s. In the selection of books exhibited, particular emphasis is given to the illustration and illumination over the literary content.
