In this study of Art and Diplomacy we see the relationship between
renaissance design in decorated borders and the messages conveyed
in the texts of royal letters from the English kings to Russia and
rulers in the Far East. These are cases of art serving the Crown,
with much of the early limning done by Edward Norgate, the English
miniaturist. Printed here for the first time from Russian archives,
this collection provides a continuum for the study of the limning
of royal letters throughout the 17th century. The letters that the
decoration enhances reveal the details of privileges and commercial
advantages sought by the English, and the cultural interests of the
Russians in their requests for English doctors, apothecaries,
jewellers, and mineralogists.
