 The Royal Holloway Collection   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
In the last years of his life, between 1881 and 1883, Thomas Holloway (1800–83) a self-made multi-millionaire whose fortune had been made in patent medicines, paid well over 80,000 pounds (equivalent to more than 6 million pounds in today's terms) for the seventy-seven paintings which make up the Royal Holloway Collection.
Like Holloway a self-made man, Frith proudly included himself in the centre of the picture as the typical Victorian paterfamilias, surrounded by his family and other varied groups, representing every class of society from the criminal to the aristocratic young bride.
The College building and Holloway's Collection provide an appropriate setting for the newly established Victorian Centre, the founding of which has been made possible by a generous donation from Christie's, through whose salesrooms almost the entire collection was assembled.
