"This book is the first to focus on the collection of Victorian art built up by Merton Russell-Cotes and now held in the Russell-Cotes Art Gallery and Museum, Bournemouth. It outlines a unique yet representative collection of late nineteenth-century British painting, reassessing a collection renowned in its own time and now beginning to regain its international significance. Featured artists include Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Sir Edward Poynter, Sir Edwin Henry Landseer, Albert Joseph Moore, William Etty, Simeon Solomon, Evelyn De Morgan and Frederic, Lord Leighton."--BOOK JACKET.
