Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Description of the Wilton House Diptych, Containing a Contemporary Portrait of King Richard the Second
The general visitor to the magnificent collection at Wilton House will find this Diptych, as in the days cf its noble purchaser, encased in an outer frame and glass, with a carved division down the centre, so as effectually to conceal what is really a matter of great interest, namely, the fitting together of the two panels, with finely constructed hinges, which still work, and enable them to be folded face to face like the pages of ebook.
