takes pride of place amongst the illuminations chosen as a setting for the portraits Explanation: I can only imagine that 'industrialisation' is somehow represented by an image of some sort and that the design mentioned in the passage includes some sort of peripheral hand-drawn or painted illumination-like border or surround to encompass the portraits mentioned. Does this make any sense whatsoever? This is really a case where a bit more context would help. L'enluminure est une peinture ou un dessin exécuté à la main, qui décore ou illustre un texte la plupart du temps manuscrit. Les techniques de l'imprimerie et de la gravure feront presque disparaître l'enluminure. Toutefois, il existe quelques livres imprimés qui en sont ornés. http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enluminure -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day23 hrs (2009-01-22 13:30:05 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- Thanks, Sasha |
