Before the 19th century, pioneers were busy fighting Indians and building log cabins, and had little time or money to have their portrait painted. Leon Nigrosh writes in his article on miniatures: "Just why this type of portraiture became so popular in America in the early 1800's is hard to figure. Only rarely did the artists truly have the skills to use such a difficult technique. And it was rarer still that a miniature painter captured his subject's true likeness. Most likely, they were popular for sentimental reasons - as personalized brooches and pendants and such they acted as constant reminders of loved ones". These tiny likenesses were particularly rewarding to hold in the hand and these cherished miniatures were produced in considerable numbers before the invention of the photograph. Before the 1840's, this was the only way to record an individual's likeness. Most often miniatures were not worn as jewelry, but housed in leather cases for protection from light damage and scratches. The painting was not to be kept by the subject of the likeness, but to be kept by the owner as an aid in visualizing the beloved person portrayed, sometimes hidden in secret drawers of a desk designed for this very purpose. They marked a time of change in a person's life: engagement, political career, or death. They were the ultimate symbol of love and commitment, and as highly prized as full-size portraits on oil.
