A professional author of art and literary criticism as well as
travel writing, Anna Jameson (1794 1860) journeyed widely in Europe
and North America, and moved in the literary circles which included
the Brownings and Harriet Martineau. 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 raisonnee 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."
