Background to the Illustrations
The illustrations in this collection are based on Les Grandes Heures d’Anne de Bretagne, a book of hours held at the National Library of France. Jean Bourdichon illuminated the manuscript for Queen Anne of Brittany in the early 16th century. The borders of its pages are decorated with detailed depictions of plants, insects and small animals.
