Swirly Victorian full-page foliated vine-leaf border from 1860; I coloured it green and brown, the original was monochrome.

I have scanned this full-page border from a Victorian book (Art of Illuminating by Tymms) and have coloured it so that the leaves and flowers are in green and the swirly stems are brown. The design is Victorian but inspired by mediaeval calligraphy.
