Mica Pictures for Polarized LightEntry/Object ID
2013.3.54Description
Six handsomely made mica pictures for polarized light. These are mounted between glass rectangles, the whole neatly framed in mahogany. They measure 6.5 x 7.25 inches. The pictures include such usual objects as a parrot, a bunch of grapes, a window, etc. The box in which they are stored has a deeper side for two somewhat larger pictures which are missing.
The museum has also many smaller pictures in sliders. They are of common objects such as flowers (thistle, forget-me-not) and conventional designs. These were favorite items in the early catalogues.Collection
