Summary "Illuminated illustrations of Froissart; Selected from the ms. in the British Museum" by H. N. Humphreys is a historical art collection published in the mid-19th century. This book showcases selected illuminated illustrations from the manuscripts of Jean Froissart, a chronicler of the 14th century, particularly emphasizing the artistic representations of events from the late medieval period. The likely topic revolves around the depiction of significant historical moments and characters, elaborating on the medieval world and the chivalric culture of the time. The book features a series of striking illuminated plates, each accompanied by descriptions that relate them to Froissart's narratives. The illustrations cover various events such as tournaments, sieges, and royal ceremonies, offering a vivid glimpse into the life and politics of medieval Europe. These miniatures not only serve as artistic expressions but also as historical documents, capturing the fashion, architecture, and warfare of the era. Through these representations, readers can discern the complexities of chivalric values and the socio-political dynamics that characterized the 14th century, highlighting the duality of artistry and historiography embodied in Froissart’s work.
