This new 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. -- .
