Calendar page from "The Hours of Henry VII"

The Free Library of Philadelphia has four leaves from the calendar of this wonderful Book of Hours, the only ones of the twelve original calendar pages from this book to have survived. Most of the book is at the British Library in London, but some pages are scattered throughout the world.
