The Victoria and Albert Museum is home to many important collections of decorative arts objects. Glanville's book serves as much more than a permanent collection catalogue of the museum's outstanding holdings of silverwork; this publication fills a notable lacuna of information on its subject. Substantive writing on Old English silver was most evident in the 1930s, when a number of historical surveys and sales and collection catalogues appeared in Britain and the United States. For many years, these works comprised the main source of reference for collectors and curators. An example, Charles Oman's English Domestic Silver (London: Black, 1934), had reached its seventh edition by 1968. Some studies focused on specific types of silver, such as plates or provincial spoons. For many years, the Metropolitan Museum of Art's catalogue of the Untermyer collection served as perhaps the most notable museum record. The Victoria and Albert entered the lists in 1948 and 1950, respectively, with two publications in its "Small Picture Books" series, Tudor Domestic Silver and Early Stuart Silver. Hardcover. 4to. Victoria & Albert Museum. 1990. 528 pgs. Illustrated. DJ in VG shape with light shelf-wear present to the DJ. No ownership marks present. Text is clean and free of marks, binding tight and solid, boards clean with no wear present. E-34; 4to 11"-13" tall; 528 pages.
