Because Passover is approaching, the Hebrew Union College
Library has an online exhibit of illuminated hagaddahs at:
http://www.cn.huc.edu/libraries/haggadahs/
The illustrations labelled Ms. 444 are from a late 15th century
German hagaddah. Ms. 450 is 18th century Italian, but according
to the notes, many of its illustrations are copied from pre-1600
hagaddahs. Although some of the pictures are not food-related,
many of them are, and depict baking matzo, feasting at the Seder
table, and displaying the ritual foods from the Seder plate.
