A talk by Emile de Bruijn, Lead Registrar (Collections Development)

This talk will focus on how the National Trust identifies work it might wish to purchase. For example, the illustration depicts Lord Henry Paget, who later became 7^th Marquess of Anglesey and donated Plas Newydd to the National Trust. The painting by Rex Whistler was acquired at Sotheby’s, London in 2017.
