Notes:
Popular account by an 'internationally renowned historian' and writer on the British royal family. Deals with it in terms of the entrepreneurs / personalities who led the business - Samuel Baker, Montague Barlow, Peter Wilson and A Alfred Taubman. Strong focus on recent years - ie the era from Peter Wilson onwards [pp89-304]. Much about Christie's as Sothebys principal competitor
