English: Bridwell Library’s copy of the Ashendene Song of Songs, illuminated by Florence Kingsford and bound by Katharine Adams, was the publisher Hornby’s personal copy. Kingsford’s painted border, encompassing the printed text and Graily Hewitt’s gilded lettering, depicts King Solomon at the left and his beloved companion at the right, both surrounded by the richly varied flora and fauna of the biblical text.
