Scope and content This series comprises images of works by sculptors who were British by birth, foreign sculptors who worked in Britain or on British subjects. The sculptures featured date from c.1600 to c.1900. The images are organised by location or collection (rather than by artist or subject). For the following collections there is an almost complete record of sculpture at the location: · Royal Collections · Reform Club · Soane Museum · Southill · Woburn Abbey · Melbury. Coverage of other houses and locations is less comprehensive.
