What reading level is The Miniature Collector a Guide for the Amateur Collector of Portrait Miniature book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Some of them were executed in Holland, as five testify to their execution at The Hague in 1692, and two at Amster- dam in 1693 and 1696, but others were drawn in London or at Chatham, as the legends upon them set forth. Those of the younger Faber were probably all completed in London, and included portraits of George I. , George II. , and Joseph Addison, one of them being partly in Indian ink and partly in plumbago.
It is hardly doing justice to William Faithorne, the famous engraver, to place ...him amongst the lesser men, more especially as the plumbago drawing in the Wellesley collection which he drew of Sir John Reresby was one of the finest examples of this art that I have ever seen, but the grouping is rather a matter of necessity. In the first group were those whose portraits are exclusively in plum- bago or in a kindred material, in the later group those whose portraits in plumbago were only a part of their art, or those artists who specially drew for engraving afterwards and not so much for the purpose of making an ad vivum portrait for its own sake.
