Hungary's Heritage: Princely Treasures from the Esterhazy Collection

The book explains the more important phases in the evolution and growth of this outstanding collection. The Esterhazy treasures, as well as the Esterhazy family themselves, have an extraordinary history, including tragic losses and damage through bombing in 1945. Since then, many of the damaged pieces have been brought back to life after years of meticulous restoration.

Many pieces in the Esterhazy collection and the Esterhazys themselves are inextricably linked at numerous points to many important developments in the political and diplomatic history of Europe. No other book in English documents this unique collection.
