Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Miniature Collector: A Guide for the Amateur, Collector of Portrait Miniatures In the Bibliography, I have adopted a somewhat different plan from that I have used in other books, and have given some information as to the importance, or contents, of the books in question, to guide any future purchasers. Above all, it has been my desire, in accordance with the wish of' the editor of this series, to make the book one of practical value, to give the information in simple language, avoiding as far as possible, technicalities, or the jargon of a collector, and thus to produce a work which will be useful, I venture to hope, to the person commencing to collect, and will yet not be scorned by those who already own a collee tion, and desire to know more about the artists who were responsible for their treasures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Miniature Collector: A Guide for the Amateur, Collector of Portrait Miniatures Some apology is surely needed from me, for inflicting yet another book about miniatures upon a long-suffering public; but I hope that this latest work may fill the position that is at the moment vacant, and may supply information that is needed. My chief excuse for it consists in the fact that new material bearing on this, my special subject, is constantly being discovered, and I have here endeavoured - to use a familiar expression - to bring the science up to date. Investigations in archives and records quite often bring to light new facts about miniature painters and their doings, and as an example, there is information in this book concerning Nicholas Hilliard and the gold mines of Scotland, in which he is actually described as Queen Elizabeth's portrait painter, that has only been brought before the public notice in the Rhind lectures delivered by Mr. Warrach during the past few months, having hitherto been buried in the dry pages of a scarce reprint (issued in 1815) of a precious Elizabethan document. Of one miniature painter, who is here described, practically all the information given is new. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from How to Identify Portrait Miniatures It has been suggested to me that many persons unable to acquire my larger "History of Portrait Miniatures," would be glad to have a small work giving such assistance to the collector of miniatures as is needed, with respect especially to signatures, dates, colouring, and other means of identification. Hence the issue of this handbook, which it is hoped will be of service to the industrious collector. The opportunity has been utilized to incorporate a few extra facts that have come to my knowledge since the issue of my larger work, and to give illustrations of certain miniatures recently sold. In view of the revival of the art of miniature painting, it has also seemed a fitting opportunity to add some chapters dealing with the practical side of the art, and these chapters I have prevailed upon my friend Mr. Alyn Williams to write, considering that as the leading miniature painter of the day he was better qualified than any other person to give the instruction required.

Download or read book The History of Portrait Miniatures Vol 1 Classic Reprint written by George Charles Williamson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-10-12 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Portrait Miniatures, Vol. 1 Much original research has been necessary in the work, especially with regard to the English painters who in Stuart times worked in Scandinavia, and the Continental artists who have hitherto been generally neglected. The author has had access to State documents in many parts of Europe, some hitherto closed to inquirers, while bundles of letters, various note-books, catalogues, and privately printed volumes relating to families and pictures have been placed at his disposal for purposes of study. In the chapters dealing with Alexander Cooper, the exhibitors at the Royal Academy, the painters in enamel, and the foreign artists, it will be found especially that new ground has been broken. It should be mentioned that the discovery narrated in Chapter XIX., which entirely disproves a theory hitherto accepted, was not made until Vol. I. Had been printed. The illustrations have been taken from collections in all parts of the world and represent almost every important miniature painter by some characteristic example of his work. As far as possible signed examples have been selected as well as interesting portraits of important personages. Each miniature has been specially photographed for the purpose, and is reproduced full size in order that the student may have before him a truthful representation of the painting, great care having been taken to select works of definite authenticity. It is with respect to the loan of miniatures and the permission to have them reproduced that the author has to express so deep a debt of gratitude to owners and collectors.
