The Private Lives of Pictures offers a new history of British art,
seen from the perspective of the home. Focusing on the nineteenth-
and early twentieth-century, the book takes the reader on a tour of
an imaginary Victorian or Edwardian house, stopping in each room to
look at the pictures on the walls. The book opens up the intimate
history of art in everyday life, and examines many issues including
how pictures were chosen for each room, how they were displayed,
and what role they played in interior design. Superbly illustrated,
The Private Lives of Pictures appeals to readers interested in both
art and social history, and the history of interiors.
