Prince John
It is made with paints on the toned paper, the final touch – on the graphic tablet. The designer combined figural imagery which illustrates the part of the text with frise compositions on the top and at the bottom, which details are psychologically connected with a figural image and make the illustration more expressive. Ornaments accentuate the horizontal rhythm of the illustration and bring to life the medieval atmosphere. The original text and fragments of other illustrations are below.
