Illuminations

Illuminations or an illuminated manuscript, was an art form started in the Middle Ages. It refers to books, in which the first letter, borders or small illustrations were hand-painted on the pages. The Arts & Crafts Movement looked back at the Medieval times and wanted to create books that were beautiful works of art. Following in this tradition, Roycroft illuminators added paintings to the books created in their Print Shop.

Follow the Roycrofters and be an illuminator in your own home by printing and coloring these Roycroft mottos.
