Housing one of the world's foremost collections of portraiture, the National Portrait Gallery receives hundreds of thousands of visitors from around the world each year. This catalogue collection, which includes over 8,000 illustrations, is the first volume to cover the entire collection since 1979, making use of the NPG's integrated database, Multi Mimsy. Each work is illustrated in black white, and accompanied by a succinct entry making, listing history, provenance, attribution, inscriptions and dimensions. In addition a 32-page colour section will present stunning colour plates of the most important works in the collection. As such this title will be an invaluable source of reference and an attractive souvenir.
