Book Description

Excerpt from Catalogue of the Collection of Pictures Belonging to the Marquess of Lansdowne, K. G., At Lansdowne House, London and Bowood, Wilts In using this Catalogue, reference should be made from the number on the frame of the picture to the corresponding number in the Index on page vii for the Painter's name, which will be found alphabetically placed in the body of the Catalogue. The plan of the Catalogue is historical, as well as descriptive. Short biographical notices of the several painters precede, in most cases, the descriptions of their works; the history, as far as known.
