Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. This account of the development of English miniature painting features masterpieces from the Victoria and Albert Museum's collection. The portrait miniature is a unique art form with its own techniques, painters and history. One of its greatest exponents, Nicholas Hilliard, called it a "thing apart from other painting", and within the history of Western art it stands as a particularly English contribution with a flourishing life for nearly 400 years. Miniatures were painted to be viewed and held closely, to be given away as tokens of loyalty and love. The book offers insights into the society which allowed the art of the miniaturist to flourish and develop, and takes a fresh look at these delicate works, revealing aspects usually hidden from view and details which show the techniques used by artists to achieve their effects. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

paperback. Zustand: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor.

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. The art of watercolour has had a distinctive identity and history in Britain since the latter part of the eighteenth century, when British artists first began to explore its particular aesthetic qualities. The V&A holds the UK's national collection of watercolours, and this book showcases its breadth and diversity. Ranging from personal sketches inspired by nature to virtuoso exhibition pieces, and from colourful literary illustrations to imaginative expressions of a more private vision, British Watercolours explores the many ways in which British artists have employed this versatile medium.
