This study examines how nineteenth-century industrial Lancashire
became a leading national and international art centre. By the end
of the century almost every major town possessed an art gallery,
while Lancashire art schools and artists were recognised at home
and abroad. The book documents the remarkable rise of visual art
across the county, along with the rise of the commercial and
professional classes who supported it. It examines how Lancashire
looked to great civilisations of the past for inspiration while
also embracing new industrial technologies and distinctively modern
art movements. This volume will be essential reading for all those
with an interest in the new industrial society of the nineteenth
century, from art lovers and collectors to urban and social
historians. -- .
