Portraits and Miniatures
THERE is not, probably, any existing art
which confers a more genuine and intense
pleasure than that which perpetuates the features
of those endeared to us by the ties of relationship,
or by still closer bonds; and we all must
be impressed with the gratification derived from
possessing a faithful likeness of a Parent or
valued Friend, in order that when death or
distance shall separate us, we may, through the
medium of the Painters' Art, recall to our mind
and sight the features and expression of those
whose memory we hold most dear.
