Send us a text

Dear Listeners,  I have just published a Gilded Age biography of Amalia Kussner titled: The Miniature Painter Revealed - Amalia Kussner's Gilded Age Pursuit of Fame and Forutne.  Kussner was the famed miniature portrait artist during the 1890's through the 1900's. The start of this book - was in part the two podcasts that I published in April of 2020 and January of 2022, which you can find in this podcast series. 

This book covers her whole life, from simple beginnings being born in Indiana, then on to her meteoric career in New York City, and then onto Europe, to paint Royalty and many titled women. The book not only details her life but the many fascinating people she painted - such as Edward VII and the Czar and Czarina of Russia. The biography contains more than 70 illustrations - with many images of her artwork and photographs of her family and husband. The book website is:

There is now also a separate podcast called - Searching for Amalia, which will detail more about her life and some of the mysteries, such as the details of the 1901 lawsuit against her and the locations of her many missing miniature paintings. This podcast series is available on all major platforms, just like People Hidden in History. The Apple link is here; the Spotify link is here.
