"Biographical Catalogue of the Portraits at Longleat in the County of Wilts" by Mary Louisa Boyle is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work serves as a detailed record of the portraits housed at Longleat, which is the seat of the Marquis of Bath, providing insights into the lives of individuals connected to this notable estate. The catalogue not only lists the portraits and their subjects but also intertwines personal accounts and historical context, contributing to a richer understanding of its lineage. The opening of the book features a dedication to the owners of Longleat and an apology from the author for any shortcomings in the work, which she attributes to various challenges she faced during her research. Boyle emphasizes the family nature of the record, focusing primarily on individuals associated with Longleat rather than just famous historical figures. She elucidates key figures, including Thomas Ken, a famous Bishop, whose life and contributions are explored in detail, alongside others such as Anthony Ashley Cooper and the Duke of Somerset. This introductory section sets the stage for a comprehensive exploration of the portraits, linking biography with art history in a way that highlights Longleat's significance.
