I am sure that if someone contacts Santina Levey she will be able to
provide more information about the picture on the front of her book although
I am not sure where she is nowadays. The information on the inside cover of
the book says 'Van Meytens, Portrait of the Empress Maria Theresa of
Austria - by courtesy of Stad Ghent - Dienst Monumentenzorg en
Stadsarchaeologie'. Maybe someone can give further information on this.
I will say that the book is well worth having, although probably now out of
print, I am sure that second hand copies will crop up from time to time.
Although a painting is not a photograph, they can provide valuable
information as often lace does not survive the course of time.
I hope that someone can maybe trace where the photograph is.
