Printed Book of Hours (Use of Rome): fol. 1r, Printers Mark

Guillaume Le Rouge

Cleveland Museum of Art

A book page with yellowed, aged paper with darker spots and stains; the edges are rough and slightly bent. The top portion features two lines of red text. Below the text, a red printer's mark is centered on the page: it is a square with a symmetrical design featuring two dragons on either side, a fleur-de-lis in the center flanked by curving floral patterns, and a banner across the top with a partial inscription. The bottom half of the page contains faded black text in a smaller font.
