The Art of Miniature Painting, Charles William Day, 1852
Bless Google Books! This wonderful resource is now online and ready to read (yes, for free). Quite rightly, it is a guide ‘Comprising Instructions Necessary For The Acquirement Of That Art’ written in 1852.
I highly recommend this book if you want to discover more about miniature paintings and it will open many doors of exploration for your collection. What are you waiting for?
