Saving Britain s Art Treasures from *** (Hardback) (2003) (?)
, in Engels, hardeband, Nuwe
Brand New Book. This book explains for the first time the full story of the wartime adventures of Britain s greatest art treasures.At first the pictures and other artefacts were distributed amongst a number of large country houses. Initially the owners of these houses almost fought one another for the right to house the Treasures. Later, when further accommodation was needed for treasures from the provincial museums, the tables turned and the Office of Works was reduced to bribing owners by promising that they would be spared billetees, and that their houses would be immune from requisitioning.By mid 1940 however, circumstances transpired that made the country houses untenable. German air bases in northern France made the whole of Britain vulnerable. Eventually two deep underground repositories were constructed, one in Wales and one in Wiltshire, and by the end of 1942 virtually all the cultural heritage of the nation was concentrated there. Building and operation of these underground treasure houses did not, however, go smoothly, as described here.

With the Second World War looming and the awful certainty that *** would use the Luftwaffe to attack London and other cities, a far-sighted and dedicated group of individuals realised that drastic steps were required if the Nation's historic and irreplaceable collection of paintings and other artefacts was to be preserved. As so vividly described in this book, the immensity of this undertaking was huge. Not only were many suitable places of safety required and the numbers of items prodigious, but the safe handling and movement of these priceless items was a major challenge. Whatever the difficulties, and they were immense, the staggering success of the whole operation is obvious to the thousands upon thousands of visitors to Britain's many superb museums and galleries. Whether more than a tiny percentage pause to stop and think that the Constable, Stubbs or Bernini they are admiring might have perished for ever had not herculean efforts been made in those dark days is much more doubtful. This copy is in MINT condition in a MINT unclipped dustwrapper. 156pp
