Helping Preserve Another Great Collection (Part 2)

Among the manifold items I’m currently working on preserving are a handful of loose pages from the oversized La Cappella del Real Palazzo di Palermo (1872), designed and painted by Andrea Terzi and illustrated by professors Francesco Saverio Cavallari, Giuseppe Meli, and Monsignor Isidoro Carini. The plates pictured show details of the Palatine Chapel’s cupola, title page, angel mosaic, and text page with an ornate drop cap depicting King Roger II of Sicily being crowned by Our Lord Jesus Christ.
