'The "illuminated" gift books which became a feature of British publishing during the 1840s were essentially gift books whose text was often, but not always, taken from the Bible, and whose pages were decorated in colour in a style closely or distantly resembling that of a medieval manuscript. They were usually printed by chromolithography.[The binding's design was] carved in a mould (of steel?) into which was poured a mixture of plaster on a papier-mache base. They are part of the Victorian. dream of medievalism, to be placed reverently on a velvet cloth on the piano.' - McLean, Victorian Bookbindings in Paper, pp. 13 & 51. -- abebooks website
