Excerpt from Andrew and Nathaniel Plimer, Miniature Painters: Their Lives and Their WorksI have also to thank the Princess Hohenlohe, Countess Tolstoy, Mrs. Croker, Mrs. Marsh, Mrs. Stewart, Miss Ker, Miss Somers Cocks, and the Misses Swinburne.The University Of Oxford has kindly permitted me to illustrate the specimens in its possession, and the well-known dealers, Messrs. Duveen and Mr. E. M. Hodgkins, have placed at my disposal the rare and lovely miniatures which they have acquired from time to time, while to Mr. Hodgkins I owe especial thanks for the information which he has given me as to the early history of the group of The Three Graces at one time in his possession, and for many other acts of kindness with which he has assisted me in my work.I would like also to express to my friend Mr. Hallett Hyatt my thanks for the care with which he has photographed the numerous miniatures which I have entrusted to him, and for the close and constant attention which he has given to the work of the artists who have carried out so well our instructions as to the colouring of the facsimile plates. To the Lady Margaret crichton-stuart and to her manager, Miss Romana de Lazem, I am indebted for the preparation of the linen which was specially woven at Falkland for the binding, and which it has been a satis faction to adopt, inasmuch as its use encourages a hand - loom industry in Scotland, founded and carried on by Lady Margaret as a means of assisting her poorer neighbours.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
