Portrait miniatures;
Portrait miniatures, published in London and New York by The Studio in 1910, is an art book by George Charles Williamson and Charles Holme on the history of miniature painting, aimed at collectors and art students. Its plates show small oval portraits of 18th-century sitters, some framed in gold and set on black mounts, with a few later photographic reproductions. A designer could take the oval vignette format, the dark mounts and the soft powdered-hair palette from these pages.
