Houghton Hall Softback
In 1799 the family of Sir Robert Walpole sold his remarkable art collection to Catherine the Great, Empress of Russia. More than two centuries later these masterpieces, rarely seen outside Russia since that time, are returning to Houghton Hall. This handsome book illustrates these superlative works hanging once again in these magnificent interiors.
