This huge work is a detailed examination of the art collections held by the British Royal Family. There are more than 400 illustrations, with over 100 in full colour.  

Royal Heritage: The Treasures of the British is a breath-taking look at the paintings and palaces, the objets d’art and jewels, the furnishings and manuscripts collected over 1000 years by the British royal family.

The book is not a dry commentary on the works of art assembled, but the fascinating story of the collector-princes, what they bought and built, how they lived, and how they played their parts as monarchs and patrons of the arts. 

Produced in conjunction with the BBC’s televised tribute to the Queen’s silver jubilee, and with the full co-operation of the Palace, it is printed on fine paper to exacting standards.

Says one reviewer on Amazon: “Even if you don't read a word, you won't be able to put this book down until you have looked at the artwork and interior pictures. The author tries very hard to be non-political, factual, and clear. A time line and many illustrations are wonderful…”

Royal Heritage: The Treasures of the British Crown by J H Plumb and Huw Wheldon is a first American edition published in 1977.
