This was a new kind of collection. It was unlike the encyclopedic historic collections of the British Museum or the Bodleian Library in Oxford.\r\n\r\nThis miniature shows the <i>Coronation of the Virgin Mary</i>. It comes from a printed Book of Hours that the Museum acquired to replace a miniature missing from a late 15th-century Missal (see 8122). The excised miniature was evidently sold separately, before the parent leaf. At a later stage the leaf was made good with the insertion of this miniature. A dealer no doubt had a stock of fragments that enabled a solution of this kind.","physicalDescription":"Woodcut","artistMakerPerson":[],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"printing ink","id":"AAT187371"}],"techniques":[{"text":"woodcut","id":"AAT53296"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Woodcut coloured by hand","categories":[{"text":"Christianity","id":"THES48978"},{"text":"Religion","id":"THES48900"},{"text":"Manuscripts","id":"THES48922"},{"text":"Woodcuts","id":"THES267451"},{"text":"Prints","id":"THES48903"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"PDP","id":"THES48595"},"images":["2009CD9639"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"LVLE","id":"THES49657"},"free":"","case":"I","shelf":"29","box":"A"}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Printed cutting","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Paris","id":"x29068"},"association":{"text":"printed","id":"x46159"},"note":""},{"place":{"text":"Paris","id":"x29068"},"association":{"text":"illuminated","id":"AAT220539"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"early 16th century","earliest":"1500-01-01","latest":"1550-12-31"},"association":{"text":"printed","id":"x46159"},"note":""},{"date":{"text":"early 16th century","earliest":"1500-01-01","latest":"1550-12-31"},"association":{"text":"illuminated","id":"AAT220539"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"135","unit":"mm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"90","unit":"mm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[],"objectHistory":"","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Hand-coloured woodcut showing the Coronation of the Virgin, from a printed Book of Hours, Paris, early 16th century.","bibliographicReferences":[{"reference":{"text":"Watson, Rowan.
