Synopsis

In the age of Antiques Roadshow fever, there has been an explosion of interest in all things collectible. In The Essential Guide, collectors of every specialty can find their particular passions organized by category -- in both European and North American collections. This unique and practical guide identifies and locates more than two hundred of the most popular types of collectibles in museums, galleries, house museums, and other collections -- from the famous to the obscure to the eccentric. Over 700 entries on more than 170 subjects, extensively photographed, are drawn from more than 1,200 museums in Europe and America. The Essential Guide enables readers to plan travel around their interests and enhance their journey with Lord McAlpine's expert and entertaining voice.
