EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning book cover adorned with twenty-two exquisite portrait miniatures of Charles II and the enchanting women of his court. Crafted in 1833, this masterpiece features mauve crushed levant morocco leather, meticulously gilded and set with miniature portraits. Measuring at 29.9x24.5 cm, it is a true treasure held within a private collection. The book cover originates from "The Beauties of the Court of King Charles the Second" by Anna Jameson, where each miniature was skillfully illustrated by C. B. Currie in the 19th century. The binding itself was expertly executed by Riviere & Son, adding to its allure and historical significance. With its regal charm and intricate metalwork, this rare book transports us back to the early nineteenth century when monarchs reigned supreme. It captures the essence of royalty and offers a glimpse into an era long gone but not forgotten. Every detail on this book cover speaks volumes about artistry and craftsmanship - from the gilt accents to the delicate portrayal of each individual depicted in these miniatures. It is truly a testament to applied art at its finest. As we admire this remarkable piece, we are reminded of the beauty that can be found in history's pages – both literally and figuratively – as well as our enduring fascination with royal figures throughout time.
