Danmarks Deltagelse i Verdensudstillingen i Chicago 1893

UDLANDETS OFFICIELLE BERETNINGER II3 Several half-tones of bindings designed by Th. Bindesbøll and Hans Tegner show the beauties of the original bindings excellenty well. A photolitho in colors of the page of the Flateybook wherein the discovery of Vineland (America) about the year 1000 is mentioned, is beautifully executed, and awakens the deepest interest. The book got it name from being kept for a long time at the island of Flatey in the bay of »Breidafjord.« The pages of this folio manuscript, we are told, are bound in two volumes, and since 1662 it has belonged to the Great Royal library at Copenhagen. Fine illustrations from wood cuts and half-tones adorn the catalogue — the half-tones being from the paintings of Danish artists. These cuts, we note, were executed by F. Hendriksen. Miss C. Suzette Skovgaard has an Illustration of a »decoration dish with a little Japanese and a goose«. We have utilized Miss Skovgaard’s design typographi- cally as an initial in calling attention to this elegant catalogue, in which the work, from the striking and artistic cover to the last page, is marked by thoroughness and taste.
