About this product
Product Information
This stunning volume explores the little-known subject of lover's eyes, hand-painted miniatures of single human eyes set in jewellery and given as tokens of affection or remembrance. In 1785, when the Prince of Wales secretly proposed to Mrs. Maria Fitzherbert with a miniature of his own eye, he inspired an aristocratic fad for exchanging eye portraits mounted in a wide variety of settings including brooches, rings, lockets and toothpick cases. Graham Boettcher discusses the history and function of lover's eyes, as well as the language and symbolism of their jewelled settings; Elle Shushan examines their role in the broader context of Georgian and early Victorian portrait miniatures; and Jo Manning offers five fictional vignettes imagining the circumstances surrounding the creation of these extraordinary objects.

Seller made a genuine and honest mistake and accidentally swapped orders, but went above and beyond and gave a swift and unprompted refund and sent it back my way. The CD arrived in excellent packaging and exactly as described. Definitely a positive experience and would absolutely recommend this seller!
