Two printed texts, each illuminated by hand in colours.

Each item is on a sheet of laid paper, 39 x 29 cm, and each with the Roycroft watermark. Both items are grubby, with wear and creasing to extremities, but with the design and much of the margin entirely undamaged. Both have an identical block of printed text (roughly 13.5 x 9 cm) at the centre: 'THE truth is that in human service there is no low or high degree: the woman who scrubs is as WORTHY of RESPECT as the man who Preaches | ELBERT HUBBARD'. In both cases this is placed in the green centre of a block of hand-painted illumination roughly 20.5 x 15 cm: one of the two with a brown, yellow and red decorative border, and the other with a blue, green and red border. Both with the Roycroft single-R orb device to the bottom right outside the illumination. No record found on COPAC or WorldCat.
