Notes on pictures in the Royal collections

Cust, Lionel, 1859-1929 · 1911 · London, Chatto & Windus on behalf of the Burlington magazine · 38 pictures

Notes on pictures in the Royal collections is a 1911 London art-historical catalogue by Lionel Cust, published by Chatto & Windus for the Burlington magazine and aimed at connoisseurs and collectors. Its plates reproduce old master paintings and a Byzantine-style icon in black and white, with a rotated print of a carriage scene. A designer might take from them the tonal range of Renaissance portraiture, the close grouping of figures, and the framed devotional panel layout with small scenes around a central image.
