Why You’ll Love It
A wonderful early Barbara Raheb miniature book celebrating Scotland’s beloved national poet, this 1980 Robert Burns volume is numbered #114 and contains pages of readable text. Burns is remembered for poetry and songs written in both Scots and English, including enduring works such as Auld Lang Syne, A Red, Red Rose, and To a Mouse. Bound in rich maroon pyroxylin, the cover features a handsome gilt portrait of Robert Burns framed within a delicate medallion, with his name below and additional gilt detailing along the spine.
Rare, retired, and dating from the earliest years of Raheb’s miniature bookmaking, this literary volume is a distinguished addition to a miniature library, poet’s study, or fine collection of Barbara Raheb books.

A Note About Value
Every miniature we offer has been carefully evaluated for its craftsmanship, rarity, condition, provenance, and collectibility. Many of the artisan pieces we sell are one-of-a-kind works that may never appear on the market again. While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.
Our pricing reflects the miniature's place within today's collector market and the years we've spent studying the artists, histories, and values that make these tiny works of art so special.
A Commitment to Research
Every miniature has a story, and uncovering it is one of our greatest passions. We carefully research each piece, but unsigned or illegible works can remain mysteries. If you can identify an artist or provide additional information, we'd be delighted to hear from you and will gladly update the listing to preserve their legacy.
