Description

UK,8vo HB+dw/dj,1st thus.FINE/FINE.No owner inscrptn,and no price-clip to dw/dj.[Originally published BBC,1981.] 8vo,184pp includes an index, b/w+colour illus and photographs. During the reign of the present Queen the magnificent heritage of Britain's royal collections has continued to grow.Most important of all,it has been made accessible to the public as never before,through exhibitions in the Queen's Gallery in Buckingham Palace,the display of drawings from the Royal Library at Windsor,loans to exhibitions here and abroad,and the opening to the public of Royal residences and estates. Celebrating one of the world's greatest inheritances,describes the changes and additions made to it since the accession of Queen Elizabeth II.The story begins in WW2,when pictures and other works of art from the Royal Collection were taken away for safe-keeping.The contributions of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother are described - contributions which established the pattern of acquisition and conservation that has been carried on.The major additions to the collections - above all the Royal Yacht Brittania - are recorded here,a considerable list that includes gifts from the Commonwealth and other heads of state,works by contemporary artists and craftsmen and works from earlier times,often bought to fill gaps in the existing collections. The book also deals with the private side of the collections.New guest rooms at Windsor,changes to private apartments there,paintings by the Duke of Edinburgh (who has also designed a new fountain for the East Terrace at Windsor) are all illustrated here.Book tells the absorbing tale of its conservation and enrichment,and at the same time sheds light on the more personal tastes in collecting of Members of the Royal Family.
