Description
Summary:	During the 150 years prior to 1914, British artists of all kinds, like their European counterparts, enjoyed esteem and prosperity on a steadily mounting scale. Artists' Houses in London reveals how the more ambitious painters and sculptors based in England's capital came to build an extraordinary range of workplaces in response to their rising status. These dwellings, the Victorian studio-house in particular, captivated a society increasingly receptive to artistic creativity.
