Description
Excerpt from Pictures in the Wallace Collection
Where there is such a wealth of material to draw from, a choice of subjects is difficult, but as this book addresses itself to a wide public, a general taste of the best quality is given, and pictures of the modern school find a place side by side with work by those whose names rank highest in the hierarchy of painters. Thus we seek to re?ect the wide sympathy of collectors who have placed on the same walls examples of so many various schools, and to condemn that narrow and exclusive favouritism with which so many critics cloak themselves.
