 Horace Walpole (1717-1797) was one of the most important English collectors of the eighteenth century . His extraordinary collection was displayed at his house Strawberry Hill, Britain's finest example of Georgian Gothic Revival architecture. His letters and writings have also made him the best-known commentator on the social, political and cultural life of Georgian society.
