In 1963 there appeared a catalogue entitled English and Other Silver in the Irwin Untermyer Collection. This volume completed a series of six, each devoted to a different aspect of one of the world's great private collections of decorative arts. In the interim the silver collection has been enriched by many remarkable works of art, both English and Continental. This new publication, greatly enlarged and completely revised, differs significantly from the first edition of English and Other Silver in that the objects, which range from the Tudor period to the nineteenth century, are presented in chronological order rather than by type. As before, however, each of the pieces is fully illustrated, and its hallmarks are reproduced in photographic enlargements. Some of the splendid new acquisitions replace lesser examples acquired earlier and now no longer in the collection. These new additions allow one to trace more clearly than before the formation of distinctive English styles, as well as the artistic development of such silversmiths as Nelme, Platel, Willaumc, Mcttayer, Pantin, and Lamerie. Few other collections of English silver, private or public, offer comparable opportunities for the student and the connoisseur.
