Don Shelton, a miniatures collector who maintains the blog “Artists and Ancestors” (www.portrait-miniature.blogspot.com), is featured in an article in today’s Sunday Observer in London.  The article, entitled “Founders of British Obstetrics Were ‘Callous Murderers,’” recounts some of the subversive information Shelton uncovered when researching the sitter Anthony Carlisle in a miniature he owns, painted by Henry Bone.  The link to the article is below.

As an addendum, the article has provoked a flurry of interest:  New Zealand national radio interviewed him this morning, BBC UK and BBC Scotland are interviewing him live tonight, and a UK producer wants to talk to him about a TV documentary.
