| Wherever one looked in Knole or Burton Agnes or Hardwick Hall (their ostensibly iconophobic, Protestant milieu notwithstanding), the eye was likely to fall on lavish and intricate objects. With delighted vindictiveness one recognizes details from the houses of one's friends - the unmanageable Tudor latches, the Knole sofas, the Van Gogh Sunflowers, the samplers, the chastely starred lampshades from "Pierre Jean" in Sloane Square or "Jean Louis" in Oxford Street. Acheson shows conclusively that the Portland copy is not only more authoritative and complete, but is in fact that source of the later, somewhat truncated, Knole copy. |
