SynopsisThe Psalms of David James S. Freemantle Foreword by Stephen Freemantle Back in print, The Psalms of David is a unique, beautifully illustrated edition of the revered religious work, also known as the Book of Psalms. The lifework of a little known genius, this facsimile edition of a magnificent hand-painted illumination of the Psalms of David is a stunning tribute to love and spiritual devotion. Born in India, James Freemantle traveled through the Middle East during his years in the British Army. Shortly after his second marriage, he began this hand-lettered, illustrated volume for his beloved bride, Clara. For the next thirty years, he periodically worked to transfer the psalms into a book that would physically match the lyrical beauty of the poetry. Throughout the book one finds the brilliantly colored blooms of India: the jacaranda, the flame-of-the-forest, huge yellow laburnums, brilliant poinsettias, and highly scented mimosa. The pages are alive with kingfishers and larks, drummers and hoppie butterflies, storks and pheasants. There are pictures of the lake near Freemantle's home, the nearby Brahmin temple, and the view from the train as he went up to school in the hills. Scenes from his travels in the army, Middle Eastern harbors and villages, and copies of illustrations from Victorian travel books reveal his draftsman's training in the accuracy of every detail. A labor of love, a work of art, a volume to treasure, this illuminated edition of the King James version of the Psalms of David is the perfect gift for all seasons., The Psalms of DavidJames S.

The Psalms of David
I have purchased several copies of this book, and given most of them as gifts. This is a unique book, with beautiful illustrations. This is a great addition to my home library. The artwork is pleasant to look at while reading the scriptures.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

This is a beautiful book, in very good condition. The psalms are illustrated with scenes and plants of India, in great detail and gorgeous illustrations. It is more of a coffee table book since I would never highlight meaningful passages as I like to do when reading and praying the psalms. It was a work of love by the illustrator for his beloved wife.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
