The Royal Mint - For two years, Katharine Eustace immersed herself in the subject of Britannia and the result is a fascinating story revealed in this compelling new book. Her new history of Britannia on the coinage is an enlightening illustration of how studying one object can reveal a bigger picture. Britannia's appearance on coins may have evolved over the centuries, but she has remained a popular symbol of the nation.
Britannia: Icon on the Coin is a handsome book to browse with a range of colour illustrations, while Katharine's engaging tone and research make for an enjoyable read. Katharine Eustace is an expert in eighteenth century sculpture, with an extraordinary knowledge of decorative art and sculpture in Britain. She was a curator in the Ashmolean Museum and the National Portrait Gallery, and Editor of the Sculpture Journal for ten years.
