EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning binding adorned with twenty-four exquisite portrait miniatures. The binding, crafted by Riviere & Son, features a combination of light blue levant morocco leather and brown morocco leather, embellished with intricate gilt detailing. Each oval and circle portrait miniature is a work of art in itself, capturing the essence of French characteristic costumes as depicted in Richard Brinsley Peake's book from 1816. The print measures 27.5x21.2cm on its front cover and belongs to a private collection. It offers a glimpse into the rare world of nineteenth-century decorative art, where binders like Riviere & Son transformed books into masterpieces. The portraits within this binding were skillfully illustrated by C. B. Currie, an artist active during the 19th century. They depict women dressed in elaborate attire that represents the fashion trends of early nineteenth-century France. The use of ice blue hues adds an enchanting touch to these portraits, highlighting the elegance and sophistication of the women portrayed. Their headwear and clothing reflect typical French styles for this era. This print captures not only the beauty of these miniatures but also serves as a testament to the craftsmanship involved in bookbinding during this period. It is truly an extraordinary piece that combines both artistic expression and functional design seamlessly.
