Focusing on 30 highlights from the V&A's superlative Rosalinde and Arthur Gilbert Collection, this book explores micromosaic construction, its roots in antiquity, their incredible popularity in the last quarter of the 18th century, and their evolution through the 19th century until the technique virtually vanished in the early 1900s.
