Miniatures
Miniatures by Dudley Heath, published in London by Methuen and Co in 1905, is a practical handbook on miniature painting, written for artists and collectors interested in the small portrait form. Its pictures are line-engraved oval portrait medallions of men and women in late seventeenth to early nineteenth century dress, with curled hair, ruffles, bonnets and cravats, arranged in grouped clusters on the page. A designer could borrow the oval vignette layout and numbered grouping of portraits for period-style framing or heritage graphics.
