Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 495 pages. 2014 marks the three-hundredth anniversary of the succession of the House of Hanover to the British throne. In celebration of this historic milestone, The Fi rst Georgians explores the rich artistic patronage of the early Hanoverian perio d. Georges I and II, along with Queen Caroline and Frederick, Prince of Wales, w ere all great patrons of the arts and together they amassed a broad and diverse collection of works. From sculptures, paintings, and miniatures to fascinating e xamples of the applied arts, including maps, crowns, books, and clocks, their co llections reflect the spirit of the early Georgian era.This catalog showc ases three hundred full-color photographs of the finest works from among the col lection, many of which have never before been published or made available for pu blic display. Produced in Germany, France, and Britain during one of the most dr amatic periods of change across all aspects of political, intellectual, and cult ural life, the works reflect changing views of science, politics, and art throug hout the early to mid-eighteenth century?the period when modern Britain was co ming into being.Despite the depth of this collection and its cultural imp ortance, artistic production during the early Hanoverian period has been less we ll-documented than during the late Hanoverian period.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. In this first modern history of St James's Palace, the authors shed new light on a remarkable building that, despite serving as the official residence of the British monarchy from 1698 to 1837, is by far the least known of the royal residences. The book explores the role of the palace as home to the heir to the throne before 1714, its impact on the development of London and the West end during the late Stuart period and how, following the fire at the palace of Whitehall, St James's became the principal seat of the British monarchy in 1698. The arrangement and display of the paintings and furnishings making up the Royal Collection at St James's is chronicled as the book follows the fortunes of the palace through the Victorian, Edwardian and Elizabethan periods up to the present day. Specially commissioned maps, phased plans and digital reconstructions of the palace at key moments in its development accompany a rich array of historical drawings, watercolours, photographs and plans. The book includes a foreword by HRH The Prince of Wales. The first modern history of St James's Palace, shedding light on a remarkable building at the heart of the history of the British monarchy that remains by far the least known of the royal residences Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
