This photograph by Médéric Mieusement, taken between 1850 and 1900, captures the intricate detail of the cover of an 11th-century evangeliarium, now housed in the Rijksmuseum. The image shows a central, carved relief of the crucifixion of Christ, flanked by angels, and surrounded by a border of ornate foliate scrolls and precious gems. The photograph, measuring 345 mm in height and 259 mm in width, showcases the craftsmanship and artistry of medieval bookbinding.
