Dealer Notes
Revised and re-written study of the portrait miniaturist Richard Cosway of a work first published in 1896.
Lovely decorative binding designed by ‘G.M.W.’ incorporating a Cosway-style miniature.
Richard Cosway, long after his death, was the inspiration for the ‘Cosway Binding’ that utilised a finely painted miniature inlaid into a fine leather binding.
