ROY STRONG is one of the best-known figures in the art history field, having been the director of the National Portrait Gallery from 1967-73 and of the Victoria and Albert Museum from 1974-87.
Fans of Strong's original publications and of The Elizabethan Image, will find this latest book a treasure trove. Elegantly written, it is also an exceptionally handsome volume. -- Elizabeth Goldring * The Spectator *
