This beautiful calendar showcases 12 designs from The Tudor Pattern Book, a picture book of trees and plants, animals and alphabets painted on parchment. The designs might have served as models for crafts work, especially needlework, within a great Tudor household. This manuscript has belonged to Oxford University for over three centuries, first at the Ashmolean Museum after donation by Elias Ashmole (1617-1692) and later at the Bodleian Library. The works are expertly reproduced in this art calendar, informative text accompanies each month and the date pad features previous and next month's views. Printed on FSC-certified paper.
