The English Prize by Scott Wilcox
Laden with works of art acquired by young British travellers on the Grand Tour in Italy, the British merchant ship Westmorland sailed from the Italian port of Livorno before being captured by French naval vessels and escorted to Malaga in southern Spain. This book tells the story of the ship's capture and the disposition of its artistic contents.
“Part adventure tale, part detective story, and completely engaging. . a visual treat . . . illuminating.”—The Magazine Antiques * The Magazine Antiques *
