This Beautiful Edition Of Byron’s The Prisoner Of Chillon was Published In 1865 And Illuminated By

This beautiful edition of Byron’s The Prisoner of Chillon was published in 1865 and illuminated by William and George Audsley, a pair of Scottish architects. Each page features a full medieval-style chromolithograph complete with shining silver and gold accents. The Audsley brothers were especially known for their Gothic Revival style, so I suppose it’s only natural that they would produce such intricate, vivid borders.
