ILLUSTRATIONS FROM THE FIORETTI BY F. CAYLEY-ROBINSON
In 1915 the publisher T.N. Foulis published Cardinal Manning's translation of the Fioretti or 'Little Flowers' a famous early Franciscan collection of Stories about Francis, Clare and the early Franciscans. It was illustrated from the works of F. Cayley-Robinson (1862-1927). While moving and sorting our library I found a tattered copy of this work and decided to scan the images so I could share them with you. We might remove them from the book and get them framed.

I too have this book and am impressed by Cayley Robert's illustrations which give a sense of quiet and stillness in an art nouveau/art deco framework. I wonder though why this book was only published in 1915 many years after the death of Cardinal Manning and at least one of the translators
