Why You’ll Love It
A timeless Hans Christian Andersen classic is beautifully reimagined in miniature by celebrated IGMA Artisan Barbara Raheb. The Steadfast Tin Soldier features readable text, faithfully bound in rich burgundy red pyroxylin and accented with elegant gilt-stamped design of the brave little soldier within a shield-shaped emblem. Published in 1977, it is numbered #267 of only 300 copies. Preserved in immaculate condition, it is a wonderful addition for collectors of fairy tales, Andersen literature, and Barbara Raheb's increasingly sought-after miniature library.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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.
