Catalogue of the Collection of Paintings at High Legh Hall: The Seat of Lieut.-Col. Henry Cornwall Legh, J. P., D. L. For Cheshire

About this book

Excerpt from Catalogue of the Collection of Paintings at High Legh HallFor greater convenience, and to make the work interesting, I have arranged the work alphabetically, and given to each painter a brief notice as to his life and death and the schools in which he studied. These particulars have been taken from the most reliable sources, but the résumés and critical remarks are my own. The works consulted for dates and other particulars and information, include Bryan's Dictionary of Painters; The National Gallery Catalogue (sir Frederick Burton's); The National Portrait Gallery Catalogue (sir George Scharf's), and Mr. E. T. Cook's Popular Handbook to the National Gallery, besides a few others.
