The Tansey Collection of Miniatures[edit]

Hi. The Tansey Collection of Miniatures have a large collection of 17th, 18th and 19th century miniature portrait paintings in high resolution. The paintings are definitely within our scope, and would be a great addition to the commons. I have therefore uploaded some of them here, but since there are so many and the frames needs to be cropped to make them eligible for PD-Art, some help would be appreciated. Cheers —P. S.

Opinions[edit]

  • This sounds like it could be end up being a situation similar to that which developed with the UK National Portrait Gallery. Have you, as a courtesy, considered contacting the curators of the collection before doing a systematic process such as this? I also have objections to this based on the cropping, but that is a different issue to that related to batch uploading so I will raise this back at the Village pump (though any need for cropping will make automation difficult or impossible here, especially for the circular and oval miniatures, which is most of them).
