The Art Of Miniature Painting: Comprising Instructions Necessary For The Acquirement Of That Art
A mid-nineteenth-century instruction manual on miniature painting by Charles William Day, published in 1853 and aimed at amateur and aspiring artists learning the craft. Its illustrations are wood-engraved portraits of men in period dress, set as small vignettes, oval and circular frames, or full-page figures among printed text, showing hatching and tonal modelling that a designer could study for period portrait conventions and engraved shading.
