MINIATURES
LOST ART
Marvellous Effects Produced
by Infinite Patience and
Greatest Skill.

The painter Of miniatures follows
an art quito distinct from that OF
the jeweler, and his handiwork, &C.
cordlng to Fred w. Burgess, is
closely akin to that Of the portrait
painter in oils, although in that fine
work there is not the freedom AMI
scope of the bolder work.
The art of the miniature painter
must be examined under a lens to
understand the full beauty of the
small and delicate touches which
are necessary to produce those mar
velous effects which some of the
earlier artists were able to impart
to their work. The art Of the mini
ature painter and enameler of Jew.
elry requires long, patient training
Of eye and hand, and comparatively
few have attained any great prof.
cheney in the art.
Pictures interest the collector of
j"welry only in so far as the por-
traits or miniatures have been
framed in gold or silver, or have
been enriched with jewels and en-
amels. thus bringing the finished
product in touch with. the art Of
the craftsman who works in the
rarer metals and beauties his work
with jewels.
Modern Fakes Numerous.
II is for this reason that some Of
tho miniatures which have been Sc
cured by the collector of jewelry
are daubs not worthy Of a place in
an art gallery. Many, indeed, when
examined by "a critic, are pro.
nounced modern fakes. or the work
Of some apprentice-only a learner
In times gone by.
Their value, however, was ap.
praised by the owner for the time
being, who valued them because Of
their historic or family associations
rather than from their artistic
merit. and lad lavjshed upon them
frames out OF all proportion to their
real worth.
The miniature collector would
scorn any interest in the frame and
look upon that as merely secondary;
so, perhaps. the collector Of old jew
elry, if not an enthusiastic artist.
would buy miniature for it's
frame, caring little for it's value
as n painting. or for the portrait Of
someone, probably unknown.
Many Frames Beautiful.
Modern miniatures have been
framed in gold and not a few old
ones have been made up into
brooches, worn in lockets, and
mourted as pendants. Many of The
backs Of such jewels have been
made beautiful by inlays and col.
ored enamels and by settings in
paste and real stones. Miniatures
have be"n worn iii mtny ways, al
though brooches, bracelets and pen
darts have been he most popular.

Haggadorn states that both he
and HIS father served In the Union
army during the war, the father
enlisting when forty-five years old
and the son when eighteen years
old. After the war they returned
to their home in Amsterdam
After several years the son went
West, settling in South Dakota,
where for years he was engaged in
farming.
In 1886 he was advised by his
father that owing to feeble health
he was preparing to travel to Da-
kota to visit the son. That was
the last ever heard from the father
by the son.
