Book Description
The 'beauties' - women of note - who were welcomed to the National Portrait Gallery's early collection were those whose lives and portraits were recognized as significant to the 'civil, ecclesiastical and literary history of the nation'. This brief was interpreted to include figures as diverse as the devout Lady Margaret Beaufort, and the entertaining Lady Emma Hamilton. History's Beauties, the first detailed study of this collection, maps a culture of femininity that reframes the Victorian fascination with women's domestic and sentimental presence by locating it within a Parliament-centred 'national' culture.

Book Description
"Court Beauties of Old Whitehall: Historiettes of the Restoration" by W. R. H. Trowbridge is a book about Great Britain's history and restoration (1660-1688). The epoch of restauration is one of the most interesting and intriguing topic in English history. It is a subject on which an immense number of books has been written. Of the eight beautiful women whose extraordinary careers are described in the following pages, the names of all are probably more or less familiar to the reader, while some—such as "Madame" and the Duchess of Portsmouth— have provided several historians with themes that have elevated them to the proud height of classical authority. The author's goal is to make an inquiry into the private lives of the great and into the spirit of the society of the past.
