THE NATIONAL PORTRAIT GALLERY

The National Portrait Gallery becomes the fourth national insitution for which HistoryWorld is publishing themed timelines of highlights of the collection. It joins the National Gallery, Tate Britain and the British Museum.

Our first NPG timeline, on British artists and architects, will be followed by others on Actors and Performers; Authors and Composers; Engineers and Scientists; Explorers and Imperialists; Politicians and Prelates; Royalty; and Soldiers and Sailors.

Prints can be bought of any of these portraits. Beside each thumbnail a click leads straight to the page on the NPG site where the image in question can be ordered.
