Mewes, Magdeburgh.
Miers, John. Silhouette painter; generally painted in unrelieved black on plaster. His earliest label is very rare. “Perfect likenesses in miniature profile taken by J. Miers, Leeds,” on a portrait of a man in the possession of the author. Other labels give “John Miers, 111, Strand, opposite Exeter ’Change, Profilist and Jeweller, late of Leeds.” His name is first mentioned in the London Directory of 1792. Another address is, “J. Miers, late of Leeds, 162, Strand, opposite New Church.” Also, “Miers & Field,” when he commenced a partnership with John Field, which lasted many years. “Miers & Field, 111, Strand,” appears in Kent’s London Directory of 1827. Considerable trouble clouded the latter years of the artist’s life. [IX.], [X.], [XI.], [XIX.], [XXIII.]
