Journal18 have published two very interesting articles recently on the subject of paint boxes. Firstly, an article by Damiët Schneeweisz on Charlotte Daniel Martner’s (1803-1821) surviving Paint Box, a woman artist who painted miniatures in Martinique (pictured). Secondly, a piece by David Pullins on Marie Victoire Lemoine's Paint Box at the MET. Included within are many interesting details regarding these rare surviving items, alongside various social economic interpretations etc.
