This historic Initial Letter was used by Christopher Plantin in his famous Polyglot Bible of which he printed 1,200 copies on paper. King Philip II of Spain promised to finance the project but when he didn’t pay, Plantin went nearly bankrupt.
Each letter is beautifully presented in a solid wood gold frame and a generous 6 ply mat with a hand-painted gold beveled edge. There is a hook for wall hanging or an optional brass easel stand for desk and tabletop display. Attached to the back is a story card describing the history behind the letter.
