This beautiful Nativity scene is part of one of the most richly decorated prayer books from the medieval period, now in the British Library in London and known as the Bedford Hours. It was given by Anne of Burgundy, Duchess of Bedford to her nephew, King Henry VI who was then eight years old. It has 38 large miniatures and over 1,200 marginal roundels, painted in Paris. Some of the Bedford Hours has been digitised and can be viewed here.
