West (1811). Advertisement: “Miniature and profile painter from London, respectfully informs the ladies and gentlemen of Derby and its environs that he has taken apartments at Mr. Price’s, in the Market Place, where he intends for a short time practising the above art, and where specimens may be seen. Mr. W. requires only two short sittings, and will reduce the likeness with the greatest exactness to within the compass of rings, brooches, etc. Miniatures from two to six guineas. Profiles taken correctly in one minute by means of his improved portable machine. The construction and simplicity of this instrument render it one of the most ingenious inventions of the present day, as it is impossible in its delineation to differ from the outline of the original, even in the breadth of a hair. Profiles on card, in black, 5s.; in colours, 10s. 6d.; on wood, in colours, 1 guinea and upwards. Attendance from ten in the morning till five in the evening.
“⁂ Mr. W. never permits a painting to quit his hands but what it’s a likeness.”
