It was created by Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild, an inspired collector, between 1875 and 1898. Today Waddesdon Manor is renowned as the home of one of the finest collections of eighteenth century French decorative art in the world. In Great Britain it is comparable with the Royal Collection and the Wallace Collection. [This book] introduces us to the history of Waddesdon Manor and those members of the Rothschild family who were and are involved in this building and preservation."
