Publisher's Synopsis
This mid-19th century collection brings together the addresses given by two leading figures in the British art world: Sir Henry Cole, a noted writer and museum director, and Richard Redgrave, an influential painter and teacher. The speeches cover a wide range of topics related to art education, including the role of museums, the importance of drawing instruction, and the value of decorative arts.
