Georg Bocskay And Joris Hoefnagel Vintage Text Prints

Taken from the iconic Mira Calligraphiae Monumenta (or The Model Book of Calligraphy), these incredible guides for constructing letters are sure to make a modern statement on your walls.

Georg Bocskay, imperial secretary to the Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand I, created Mira Calligraphiae Monumenta in the 1500s. Some thirty years later, Ferdinand's grandson, Emperor Rudolf II, commissioned Europe's last great manuscript illuminator, Joris Hoefnagel, to embellish the work, creating these unique text prints you see today.
