Duc de Berry receives the book

[Whole folio] The Duc de Berry, seated, receives a book from the translator, Laurens du Premierfait. With him are courtiers, a jester, and a dwarf with a dog and performing monkey. In the background, a carved chimney-piece and settle. Dedicatory letter to the Duke de Berry, beginning with decorated initial 'A'. Borders with foliate decoration, including a shield and banner with the royal arms of England, and a Yorkish rose, perhaps for King Edward IV

Image taken from Des cas des nobles hommes et femmes maleureux.

Originally published/produced in S. Netherlands [Bruges]; 1470-1483.
