Many of her other works are also reissued in the Cambridge Library Collection. In 1844, she published this book on the great private art collections of London. She begins with an essay on the formation of the collections, from the seventeenth-century earl of Arundel onwards, and then describes in turn the Queen's Gallery, the Bridgewater, Sutherland, Grosvenor and Lansdowne galleries, and the collections of Sir Robert Peel and of the poet Samuel Rogers. For each collection there is an introductory essay, a catalogue raisonnée and a note of the most important items in the collection. This work is a fascinating and valuable guide to mid-nineteenth-century taste and fashion in art.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eGeneral introduction\u003cbr\u003e The Queen's Gallery\u003cbr\u003e The Bridgewater Gallery\u003cbr\u003e The Sutherland Gallery\u003cbr\u003e The Grosvenor Gallery\u003cbr\u003e The collection of the Marquis of Lansdowne\u003cbr\u003e The collection of Sir Robert Peel\u003cbr\u003e The collection of Mr Rogers.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: The arts: general issues [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on The arts: general issues\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22The%20arts:%20general%20issues%20%5BAB%5D%22\"\u003eAB\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46005360853272,"sku":"9781108073844","price":37.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781108073844i.jpg?v=1696751478","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/companion-to-the-most-celebrated-private-galleries-of-art-in-london-containing-accurate-catalogues-arranged-alphabetically-for-immediate-reference-each-preceded-by-an-historical-and-critical-introduction-paperback-9781108073844","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
