The French Hospital In England
More than a
hundred new photographs of the hospital’s collections of paintings, engravings, silver, furniture and memorabilia
provide a unique visual record. Portraits featured include the eighteenth-century Huguenot merchants Jean-Henri
Guinand and Pierre Ogier. The early hospital records held at the Huguenot Library include tradesmen’s bills,
portraits of inmates and hospital staff. An eighteenth-century steward’s diary records that one inmate hid over
half a hundredweight of the hospital’s coal supply under her bed.
Heraldic shields and book-plates record some of the principal Huguenot families who have served as directors,
and a transcription of the 1742 inventory compiled in French lends historical colour.
This richly illustrated account will appeal to a wide audience including social and art historians and all
who are interested in Huguenot heritage.
