Iveagh had accumulated his collection in a most unusual fashion and almost entirely through the Bond St dealers, Agnew’s.

This handsome catalogue of the outstanding collection of pictures at Kenwood celebrates the achievement of Edward Cecil Guinness, 1st Earl of Iveagh, who bequeathed the house and a significant portion of his collection to the nation in 1927.
A useful introductory essay about Iveagh's career and purchases, mostly of 1887-1891 through Agnew, is followed by full entries both for the pictures selected for the house and for those subsequently acquired to complement these.
Only a handful of Iveagh's French pictures are at Kenwood, but the sources of these are particularly revealing: the Bouchers had belonged to the 4th Earl of Lonsdale, a major buyer in the field; the Paters to Lord Thanet who had lived in Paris; the Rigaud to Watson Taylor, so celebrated for his furniture.
