This beautiful edition of Byron’s The Prisoner of Chillon was published in 1865 and illuminated by William and George Audsley, a pair of Scottish architects.   Each page features a full medieval-style chromolithograph complete with shining silver and gold accents. The Audsley brothers were especially known for their Gothic Revival style, so I suppose it’s only natural that they would produce such intricate, vivid borders.
