History of Miniatures?

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.games.miniatures.historical (More info?)

Can anyone recommend any good books on the history of miniatures? I'm
particularly interested in ancient miniatures (Chinese, Mesopatamian,
etc.). When was the first recorded use of miniatures?

Well I don't know about recorded use but model soldiers have been found in
Egyptian tombs.

I don't think 15s were around then so they must have been 25s

"I don't think 15s were around then so they must have been 25s"

Probably 54's

M favourite is a woman buying antique Chinese plates, recovered from a ship
that sank in the 1700's. She asked if they were 'dishwasher proof'.
