CAPTAIN JAMES MILLER

M-block staging entry validated for model fit. Imported from staging batch duell-thimm-m, source entry 1451.

Gelli identifies this 1738 Captain James Miller item as an untitled fencing album of fifteen Scotin-engraved copperplates with one explanatory text column, bibliographically beautiful but technically null.

Castle also records the 1738 Miller plate album engraved by Scotin.

Vigeant 1882 calls the Miller album one of the bibliographic beauties of fencing, describing an untitled folio of fifteen richly ornamented Scotin engravings with portrait, dedication, and explanatory text.
