Marquesses of Hertford, whose fabulous riches enabled them to buy exactly as
their discriminating tastes prompted. It was bequeathed to the British nation
by Lady Wallace in 1897, and opened to the public as a national museum three
years later. One priviso of the bequest is that it should be 'kept together,
unmixed with other objects of art'; this provision has ensured that the
remarkable character of one of the greatest collections ever made by an English
family has been preserved. As well as the history of the collection, this
volume presents works of art from the Collection, ranging from arms and armour,
magnificent furniture, French eighteenth century art, and including magnificent
examples of furniture and ceramics. Hb in dw, fine. US$ 22.50 /
