Giles Waterfield is director of Royal Collection Studies, associate lecturer at the Courtauld Institute of Art, and an independent curator.
“…comprehensive and exceptionally well-researched analysis... What

fascinating story. As instructive and entertaining as the Victorian

resource for many years to come.”—Susan Owens, TLS
