Title: Waddesdon: Catalogue of Drawings for Architecture, Design and Ornament Author: Alastair Laing, Martin Meade, Michael Jacobs, J.W. Niemeijer, Michael Snodin, Christopher White and Karin Wolfe List price: £250.00 ISBN: 978-0-9547310-2-1 Contents: This major edition to the Waddesdon Catalogue series introduces for the first time Waddesdon's corpus of over 1000 decorative drawings. Remarkable for the sheer abundance and quality of works by virtually every French 18th-century ornemaniste or architect of note. The catalogue has been compiled by leading scholars in the field and as a result is a major contribution to the understanding of an as yet little-explored area of art history, collecting and material culture.
