WHAT IS A MINIATURE?
This is probably the oldest and most popular type of photo
graph. A miniature is most certainly not just a small picture. It
is a portrait made with far more care and skill and the regular
8 x 10 size.
The true miniature shoud be on ivora in oval shape of head
only painted in oils and mounted in a sturdy frame with con
cave glass. At this time ivora base is next to impossible to
secure and the true miniature frames are so expensive that most
studios are offering “parchment miniatures’’ of rare quality
mounted in square gold frames at very reasonable prices.
With the making of good miniatures goes all the photo
graphic technique and skill the photographer possesses—for it
must have all that extra something which makes you or your
child seem real— a little something to treasure always.
