Cloth binding for ‘Parables of Our Lord’

1864

Green cloth gilt

10 x 8½ inches

This grand design by an anonymous designer is a good fit with Millais’s sonorous illustrations of the biblical text. Its large mandorla is enhanced by the over-large antique lettering of the title and surrounding border.
