Trade ReviewAntiques Magazine, 11th June 2005: 'Those who own the first edition will be itching to get their hands on this update.' 'This far reaching and comprehensive survey.' 'Perhaps the highpoint for catalogues of private collections of paintings and works of art was reached in the decades around the turn of the twentieth century... although a very different sort of book, this new catalogue... sits firmly within that tradition.' - Burlington Magazine
