Goodwood: Art and Architecture, Sport and Family Book by Rosemary Baird
Ref: 1986
Goodwood: Art and Architecture, Sport and Family is a lively account of the family history of the Dukes of Richmond and of their home at Goodwood, the first time the story has been fully written by an expert art historian. While covering the intricacies of the art collection, shown in wonderful new photographs by Clive Boursnell, the book is designed to be entertaining and amusing for the general reader, and is conveniently laid out for those who wish to track particular themes, including the various sports. It provides in particular a great panorama of eighteenth century cultural life in both London and Sussex - an essential read for anyone interested in the arts and the aristocracy in Georgian England.
