Excerpt from The Miniature Painter's Manual: Containing Progressive Lessons on the Art of Drawing and Painting Likenesses From Life on Card-Board, Vellum, and Ivory; With Concise Remarks on the Delineation of Character and Caricature

In drawing portraits upon finely pressed Bristol board, it will be advisable not to ex tend the size of the head beyond that Ofahalf crown piece; if it be larger, it will require much stronger light and shade to produce effect than can be easily imparted by a be ginner in water-colours upon paper: if it is much smaller, it will be better to paint it upon vellum or ivory.
