This is a lovely reproduction of a book read by our ancestors. It is interesting for its sayings and wisdom , which are frequently referred to in our own century. The pictures are clearly shown, and representative of what the proverbs reflect. They are simply drawn with some coloured tints added. This does not take away from the enjoyment of the manuscript but is not useful if one is looking for sophisticated brush strokes or complex compositions.Due to being written 500 years ago the actual words are different but the meaning is clear.
A great bed time story for kids or adults.A classic to add to your collection.An absolute must have in every home library!!!
