A 1914 gallery guide by Henry C. Shelley, published in London by Simpkin, describing the Wallace Collection's paintings, decorative objects, and arms and armour for museum visitors and collectors. The 45 plates are dark halftone reproductions of Dutch tavern scenes, Spanish and English portraits, and Watteau fêtes galantes, useful for soft-edged figure groups and heavy tonal backgrounds.
