About This Design

Calligraphy gilded initial vintage pear bug poster

Calligraphy gilded initial vintage pear bug poster

Antique Latin calligraphy with gilded initial and pear, fly, caterpillar and butterfly illumination. Pages from a 16th century illuminated manuscript titled 'Mira calligraphiae monumenta', in collaboration of two exceptional artists of the era. The fabulous calligraphy was created in 1561-62 by György Bocskay, Croatian-born court secretary to the Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand I - the fine illustrations of flowers, fruits and insects were added by Belgian painter and illuminator Jorist Hoefnagel about 30 years later, after Bocskay's death. DEFAULT PRINT SIZE IS 12" WIDE. I DO NOT RECOMMEND TO CHOSE A WIDER PRINT SIZE THAN 16" FOR ANY PRODUCT. IF YOU DO THAT, PLEASE BE AWARE THAT LARGER PRINTS MAY LOSE THE ORIGINAL IMAGE QUALITY OF THE MANUSCRIPT

I like the design features on the website. They enable the fitting of a good quality Print to an existing frame. This Print was of excellent quality. I would buy again. One small gripe is that the image was not centred horizontally (about 3mm out) so needed trimming. No great hardship and may have been my fault in the setting-up. Next time, I would choose to set the text below the picture to a smaller font. Overall - Thank You! Looks good in its frame - Just as expected. I had a very expensive Gallery print of this before. It got damaged - hence the replacement. It compares very well.
