Works of Art from the Drambuie Collection, Edinburgh, Scotland

Portraits, medals, miniatures, ceramics and, above all, engraved glasses -- over a hundred diverse works of art by some of the leading artists of 18th century Scotland, England, France, and Italy gave a fascinating insight into the uses of art: both as an elegant weapon of propaganda and as a means of expressing loyalty to an ancestral king in an age of turmoil and revolution.
