Wax Miniatures Collection-Donation to a Good Home



A patron recently asked if I knew any archives, art museum, or historical
society who may be interested in their family's collection of wax
miniatures (56 total).  The collection was bought in the early 20th century
in Spain, Vienna, and Switzerland.  According to a description of the
collection done in 1998, the art work is primarily from Italy and Germany.

Among the 56 miniatures include images of: Marie Antoinette, Saint Francis
of Assisi, a portrait of Jesus, 12 members of the Swedish royal family,
members of the German and Austrian royalty, and the mother and father of
the poet Goethe.

Anyone interested in the complete description and a few photographs of the
collection please contact me off-list.
