For those interested in the history of art collecting, this book is a unique source of information. There is a growing awareness not only of the importance of collecting as a factor in the history of art, but also how vital the details of provenance are on items traded in the art market. The author has gone to the most revealing sources to produce, in effect, a history of collecting in England and a study of the gradual emergence of the museum as a national institution. The book also contains a most useful and detailed bibliography of collecting history.
