DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Chats on Old Miniatures Acceding to the wish of my Publishers that the following pages should be included in a certain well known series, I have termed them Chats on Old Miniatures, but confess that I consider the title somewhat of a misnomer, inasmuch as I have been accustomed to regard a chat as a conversation between two or more persons interested in a given subject; whereas in this little volume it is obvious that I have done all the talking.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKYou would like to make a collection of old miniatures, did I hear my reader say? and you want to know the best way to set about it? Well, I can suggest one way: it is to become a millionaire, and let it be known that you are interested in miniatures, then you will find that a collection can easily be made, and not only so, but people will actually make it for you, with an alacrity, ingenuity, and industry which may surprise you. Should you further inquire what the collection would be like when made, my reply would be: that depends upon your own taste, intelligence, knowledge of art in general, and of miniature painting in particular; upon the depth of your purse-and, I had almost said, on your luck. Let me take that last-named qualification first, and illustrate what I mean by luck in relation to a collection of miniatures. Some years ago the father of the present Duke of Buccleuch took to collecting miniatures, and the agent he employed to purchase them was the late Mr. Dominic Colnaghi, into whose shop there walked one day a man who said he had some little pictures to sell that he had bought with a "job lot" of old silver and gold from a working jeweller.
