    About this ebook

    "Chats on Old Miniatures" by J. J. Foster
    Miniatures and the art of collecting them were widespread in years past. Though now often thought of as a hobby for children, adult men and women used to meticulously curate miniature homes and environments that often reflected their own. In this book, Foster discusses this art. He describes the origin, as well as some of the most important creators and collectors of miniatures to have lived up until his time.
