- First major reference book on Samuel Percy, modeller of miniature portraits and tableaux in coloured wax
- Contains detailed information on Percy, as well as his contemporary modellers in Britain, Ireland and America
- A chapter has been devoted to Percy's tableaux, which have never before been subjected to study
- Of interest to museum and gallery curators, art historians, economic and social historians and anyone who collects portrait miniatures
As well as a chronological narrative of Percy's life, this book commits an entire chapter to an area of his work that has never been studied before: his miniature tableaux. These portray various subjects, both religious and secular, from Christ on the Cross to playing children. They are catalogued in an appendix, and almost thirty are illustrated.
Based entirely on original research, Mr. Percy: Portrait Modeller in Coloured Wax features over a hundred illustrations, celebrating both Percy's accomplishments and the works of other modellers for comparison.

À propos de l’auteur
Since retiring from a career in university administration, Ruth Ord-Hume has been researching Samuel Percy and his life. She has visited museums across the UK and travelled to America in pursuit of information, establishing a network of contacts in both academic and commercial circles en route. With articles published in The Sculpture Journal and Antique Collecting, she has also contributed to the section on Samuel Percy in the online version of A Biographical Dictionary of Sculptors in Britain, 1660-1851. She is possibly the only current specialist in the field.
