The Wallace Collection: A Short History

The Wallace Collection – bequeathed to the nation in 1897 – is one of the largest gifts of fine and decorative arts ever made in Britain. The collection was built up over several generations of the Seymour-Conway family, many of them larger-than-life characters, and this book tells their colourful story. Richly illustrated with iconic masterpieces from the Wallace Collection, as well as rare archival material, this new edition has been thoroughly revised, updated and redesigned. Paperback 96 pages
