Catalog of Museum Highlights from London's Wallace Collection. Amazing Artefacts

Visitor’s Guide To London’s Stunning Wallace CollectionThe Wallace Collection is one of the most outstanding small art collections in the world. Its fame is based on the quality of its art works – its Old Master paintings, French eighteenth-century art and princely arms and armour are among the very best. In each of these areas the Collection is the home of some of the world's great masterpieces. These works are shown in the former town house of the Hertford family. The Collection was formed over five generations and given to the English Nation in 1897 by Lady Wallace, widow of the last descendant in this branch of the family. In the nineteenth century, the family was based in both Paris and London, and the European character of the Collection can still be felt today. This catalog highlights some of the best items from their collections, with full colour images and a fantastic text. This is the type of book you would purchase at the gift shop to guide you along your tour. But if you're like most of us and are unlikely to visit in person, this book gives you a virtual tour, including items not always seen by the tourist. A fascinating resource for the tourist, art historian, and so on!The book is a softcover printed on glossy pages. It is larger-format, measuring about 8 x 10 inches, and is just packed with colour photos and illustrations. It is 88 pages long, and was published by the Museum in 2012. The book is used, but is in excellent condition – there is no writing, no stains or soiling, no missing or torn pages, and it still has a tight spine & clean cover. Top bidder should add $6.99 postage to Canada, or $12.99 to the USA. I have other, similar books up for sale now, so please check them out too! Multiple books always combined to save on postage, & full refund if you’re not happy. Thanks for looking!
