Art of Illumination by Patricia Carter

This compendium, the best work from Patricia Carter's three previous books on illumination, shows exquisite designs in watercolour and gouache to enhance calligraphy, texts and a host of other decorative items.
Patricia Carter is the bestselling author of three Search Press titles, all of which are on the subject of illumination. She is, however, first and foremost a miniaturist, and her interest in that lead her to the discovery and revival of silver point, which she has gone on to develop in her own inimitable style. She lives in Neatishead, Norwich.
