Sinopsis
Excerpt from A Guide to the Knowledge of Pottery, Porcelain, and Other Objects of Vertu: Comprising an Illustrated Catalogue of the Bernal Collection of Works of Art, With the Prices at Which They Were Sold by Auction, and the Names of the Present Possessors
I have been requested to write a few introductory lines to this Catalogue, and feel it is one of the greatest compliments that could have been paid to me. Nothing I can say would enhance the value of such a collection, and I cannot therefore look on the request in any other light than that of a delicate mode of conferring upon me the privilege of publicly expressing the respect and regard which I have for nearly thirty years entertained for the kind friend, whose sudden and unexpected loss I so deeply deplore.

Excerpt from A Guide to the Knowledge of Pottery, Porcelain, and Other Objects of Vertu: Comprising an Illustrated Catalogue of the Bernal Collection of Works of Art, With the Prices at Which They Were Sold by Auction, and the Names of the Present Possessors
The present Manual has arisen from accidental circumstances. At the sale of the late Mr. Bernal's extraordinary collection, the numerous and expensive woodcuts which embellished the Auction Catalogue, became mine for a mere trifle. Upon this it occurred to me, that an illustrated volume, comprising the entire Catalogue, with the prices, and the purchasers' or rather present possessors' names, and such incidental remarks and additions as might suggest themselves, would be an acceptable service to amateurs and collectors; - and those whom I consulted thought the same. I therefore took immediate measures for accomplishing this object, but other and more pressing avocations so continuously engrossed most of my disposable time, that its completion has been sadly retarded.
In the interim I had been invited by the Rev. Harry Dupuis of Richmond, in common with many of the neighbouring gentry, to take part in a projected Exhibition of works of Art and Science, connected with a series of educational lectures, - a movement in the path of social progress so consonant to my own views and feelings, that I joined in it most cordially.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the artistic and cultural impact of Ralph Bernal, a prominent Victorian collector. With the dawn of the 19th century came an intrigue with medieval design and neo -Gothic ornamentation that Bernal embraced with gusto. The author celebrates Bernal's contributions to contemporary taste during an era of profound societal and technological transformation. Through an eclectic and wide -ranging collection, Bernal pushed the boundaries of artistic appreciation and helped shape the aesthetics of his time. While chronicling Bernal's personal journey as a tastemaker, the author invites reflection on the dynamic interplay between collecting and cultural exchange, highlighting the ongoing influence of historical artifacts on art and design to this day. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781331933892_0
