Royal Society of Miniature Painters Sculptors and Gravers
- Royal Society of Miniature Painters Sculptors and Gravers
The aims of the Royal Society of Miniature Painters Sculptors and Gravers are "to esteem, protect and practice the traditional 16th Century art of miniature painting emphasising the infinite patience needed for its fine techniques." Its patron is His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales.
The society was founded in 1896 by Alyn Williams, in which year it had its inaugural exhibition in the Modern Gallery, devoted exclusively to contemporary miniature paintings.
King Edward VII granted the society a Royal Charter in 1905 and was known as the Royal Miniature Society or RMS. In 1926 its scope was extended to include sculptors and gravers and its name was changed by the Royal Command of King George V.
