Miniature painters, British and foreign : with some account of those who practised in America in the eighteenth century
A 1903 London and New York reference work by J. J. Foster on miniature painters, British, foreign and American, printed for collectors and art historians. Its plates reproduce oval portrait miniatures of women in soft tonal halftone, set on plain cream paper with generous margins, and a designer might take their oval framing, vignette layout and muted sepia tones.
