REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF THE ROYAL COLLECTION

Jonathan Marsden

t is a privilege to be able to report on Sir Hugh Roberts’s final year as Director of the Royal Collection, I which, no less than previous years, has been marked by substantial progress towards each of the Trust’s charitable aims. More than two million people visited the occupied palaces and The Queen’s Galleries; seven exhibitions were mounted in London, Edinburgh and Windsor; and nine books were published. This Report contains details of the successful commissioning of the new Collections Management System, numerous conservation projects and educational initiatives, and the further developments in marketing and retail on which everything else depends.

6ANNUAL R EPORT 2010 As in previous years, exhibitions have driven much of the work of the Department. In addition to the busy programmes at The Queen’s Galleries and the Drawings Gallery at Windsor Castle, a total of 154 loans were made to 43 external exhibitions at 51 venues in the UK and nine other countries. A full list is provided on pages 43–7. The figures, especially when added to the total of 1,300 objects included in Royal Collection exhibitions during the year, represent the investment of considerable amounts of time and expertise, whether in the administration of loan agreements, advance visits to new venues, courier trips, conservation, framing, packing or photography. Such activity is at the heart of the Royal Collection’s charitable activities, adding significantly to the accessibility of the Collection, and more often than not providing lasting benefits through conservation or research. A special characteristic of the Royal Collection is that for almost every loan or exhibition at The Queen’s Galleries (except in the cases of miniatures or works on paper), further paintings and works of art are required to act as temporary substitutes. For the year under review, this means that something in the region of 2,000 works have been prepared and relocated as part of the loan process. An assessment of these consequences is an important aspect of the approval of loan requests. Consideration is continually being given to new ideas for showing both the palaces and the Collection in fulfilment of the Trust’s aims. This year, private guided tours of Buckingham Palace have continued during the periods in January and April when HM The Queen is not resident, and garden tours have been introduced during the Summer Opening period and in April, May and June. Provision of some form of catering for the large numbers of visitors to the Summer Opening at Buckingham Palace has been a long-standing objective. It is very satisfactory that for the 2009 season a solution materialised in the form of the Garden Café on the West Terrace. A further, notable investment in the retail business in support of the Royal Collection Trust has been the Middle Ward Shop at Windsor, which was completely refurbished in the early months of 2010 to provide a much more open-plan environment, with additional display space, counters and tills. It is particularly pleasing to report that Windsor Castle and the Palace of Holyroodhouse received Sandford Awards for Heritage Education in 2009. The Royal Collection Education service, which now has a full-time staff of six, has been built up under Sir Hugh’s directorship since the appointment of the first Education Development Manager in 2001. Educational activities of all kinds, whether for schools, families or adults, including the greatly expanded provision of audio tours and guided visits, are now a central part of the Department’s activities at all sites.

A NNUAL R EPORT 2010 7 Department a significant loss of accumulated wisdom and expertise, though happily his appointment as Surveyor Emeritus will ensure that the loss is not absolute. Every opportunity will be taken in the coming year to build and develop the skills and knowledge of all staff through qualifications, research, publications and teaching assignments. Curatorial oversight of English and continental furniture, Sir Hugh’s particular area of specialisation, now passes to Rufus Bird, formerly a senior director in the English Furniture department at Christie’s in London, who was appointed Deputy Surveyor of The Queen’s Works of Art in February. Museums, galleries and other cultural organisations are continually exploring ways in which their collections and activities can be more widely enjoyed through the use of new technology, and at the same time the publishing industry is coming to terms with the ‘digital revolution’. The Royal Collection has developed strong teams in the fields of publishing, photographic services, online access and education, and a new senior post has now been created, the Director of Publishing and New Media, to lead all four teams in order to maximise the use of print, film, audio and digital content. Jemima Rellie, who was formerly Head of Digital Programmes at , and more recently a Director of the Getty Conservation Institute in Los Angeles, was appointed to this position in March. Among her early priorities will be a major expansion of the representation of the Collection online.

The year ended on a high note with the opening by His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales of the exhibition Victoria & Albert: Art & Love at The Queen’s Gallery in London. The exhibition, which attracted excellent reviews and has proved very popular in its opening weeks, will be reported on more fully in 2010–11. To mark the opening, a 60-minute programme entitled Victoria: A Royal Love Story, presented by Fiona Bruce, was broadcast on BBC One on 14 March and on BBC Two on 27 March. The programme included an interview with The Prince of Wales and sequences filmed in the conservation workshops, the Royal Library and at . The first transmission achieved a record audience figure for an documentary, with an average of 5.3 million viewers. The Trustees of the Royal Collection Trust met on four occasions during the period of this Report. Two of the Trustees, Mr Duncan Robinson and Mr Peter Troughton, have also served as members of the Strategic Development Committee (SDC), together with the three non-executive directors of Royal Collection Enterprises Limited, Mr Tom Jenkins, Mr Edward Griffiths and Mrs Fiona Sale. The SDC has met three times and continues to provide an excellent forum in which Directors and Trustees can engage together on future plans. The further contributions of Mr Troughton as Chairman of the Audit Committee and of Mr Nigel Turnbull as a member of that Committee are warmly acknowledged. As in previous years, this Report describes the activities of the Royal Collection under six headings, which refer to the six charitable aims listed on the inside front cover. It is under these headings that the Trustees measure the year’s results, with particular reference to the guidelines on public benefit prepared by the Charity Commission and the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator. The financial information is confined to a summary, but the full financial statements are available online (www.royalcollection.org.uk) or from the Registered Office, York House, St James’s Palace, London SW1A 1BQ.

A NNUAL R EPORT 2010 9 CUSTODIAL CONTROL To ensure that the Royal Collection is subject to proper custodial control and that the works of art remain available to future generations.

Following the launch of the Collections Management System (CMS) in April 2009, around 130 users have now become familiar with its capabilities through initial training and use. The new functionality is gradually being adopted, in particular by the conservation teams. The majority of users are Royal Collection staff, but the total also includes users from Historic Royal Palaces, to whom the Royal Collection supplies collections-management services. Further expansion of the user network is taking place in 2010. The number of records on the system is currently 715,326, and there are now 130,000 images where previously there were none. The programme of on-site inventory checking re-commenced, with the State Apartments and other areas of Windsor Castle, Buckingham Palace and St James’s Palace, Highgrove House, Osborne House (including the Swiss Cottage Museum), the library at , and . In total, around 50,000 items have been checked using the new offline functionality, fulfilling the paramount requirement for quicker, more efficient and more accurate checks.

Collections Information staff check the Buckingham Palace Picture Gallery using the Collections Management System offline.

10 ANNUAL R EPORT 2010 The record for , A Courtyard in Delft, 1657, on the Collections Management System, which has now been in use for just over a year.

Digital inventory photographs of coins and medals were uploaded to the CMS, and the first phase of a long-term project to re-house British and foreign uniforms and official dress of King , King Edward VIII and King George VI was completed. In the Royal Photograph Collection, a total of 10,168 inventory numbers (RCINs) were allocated during the year. These included items from the collection of Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother; official photographs of State Visits and other visits by HM The Queen; photographs from the Private Secretary’s Office; the collection of early twentieth-century inventory negatives; the Marcus Adams negatives; collections received from The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester; Queen Mary’s photograph albums; and royal films deposited with the British Film Institute. In the Royal Archives, cataloguing has continued on Household and Royal Family records from the eighteenth to the twentieth century.

A NNUAL R EPORT 2010 11 CONSERVATION To ensure that the Royal Collection is maintained and conserved to the highest possible standards, and that visitors can view the Collection in the best possible condition.

PICTURES

Sixty-eight paintings received treatment in the Conservation Studio. A larger number were condition-checked for external loans, exhibitions or in situ displays. For the exhibition Victoria & Albert: Art & Love, two paintings by W.E. Frost, The Disarming of Cupid (see illustration opposite) and Una among the Fauns and Wood Nymphs, were fully treated in the studio, and four others by external conservators. A further 20 received minor treatment. For the Dutch Landscapes exhibition, four paintings were fully treated in the studio (Evening Landscape with the Ruins of an Abbey by Aelbert Cuyp, The Golden Lion by Willem van de Velde, The Young Bull by Paul Potter and A Boy Asleep by Karel du Jardin) and 15 received some conservation treatment. The full treatment of Venice: Caprice View of the Zecca and Granaries by was completed for display at Windsor, and 24 paintings received conservation treatment for the new displays at . Major structural treatment was completed on three paintings (Calvary and the Madonna with Eight Saints by the Master of the Misericordia for the Victoria & Albert exhibition, and Endymion and Ariadne by Giovanni Antonio Pellegrini) and eight received minor structural treatment. Two further portraits from the Hanoverian sequence in the State Dining Room, Buckingham Palace, George III and Queen Charlotte by Allan Ramsay, were fully treated in an external studio. A major undertaking was the treatment by outside conservators of Valentine Cameron Prinsep’s The Imperial Assemblage held at Delhi and its carved and gilded frame, which together measure 3m x 8m, for the exhibition Maharaja at the Victoria and Albert Museum (see illustration on p. 46). Fifty-four miniatures received conservation treatment by an external conservator prior to photography for the forthcoming catalogue raisonné of Victorian miniatures. Twelve miniatures were cleaned and condition- checked prior to display at Hampton Court Palace and Palace. Forty-eight miniatures were fitted with new glasses. A student from the MA Conservation course spent a two-week work placement in the Paper Conservation Studio conducting a condition survey of part of the miniatures collection.

WORKS OF ART

A total of 186 works of art, including furniture, clocks, weapons and armour, ceramics, metalwork and giltwood picture frames, were fully conserved in the workshops and the horological workshops. A large part of the year’s programme was taken up with preparations for Victoria & Albert: Art & Love at The Queen’s Gallery, Buckingham Palace. The treatment of the case of ’s 1856 Erard piano was concluded after 12 months’ work on the cleaning, consolidation and re-touching of the gilded and painted decorations. The throne of the Maharaja of Travancore, which is mounted with more than 100 intricately carved ivory plaques, was also fully conserved. An elaborate carved secretaire from the Swiss Cottage Museum at Osborne was cleaned and re-finished, missing carved elements replaced and the mechanism restored to working order.

12 ANNUAL R EPORT 2010 W.E. Frost, The Disarming of Cupid, 1849–50. The work and its companion, Una among the Fauns and Wood Nymphs, were cleaned and conserved in the Royal Collection studio at Windsor in preparation for Victoria & Albert: Art & Love.

A NNUAL R EPORT 2010 13 Two carved and gilded beech pedestals by Tatham & Co., made for Carlton House in 1811–13. The pedestals, from a set of four, were fully conserved in the gilding conservation workshop.

The gilding conservation workshop was similarly occupied with exhibits for The Queen’s Galleries in London and Edinburgh. Several of the picture frames originally chosen by Prince Albert for his early Italian and German paintings (but since replaced) were restored for the Victoria & Albert exhibition. Some progress was also made with giltwood furniture, of which the Royal Collection has probably the largest holding in the world. The conservation challenge is often compounded by the added complication of continuing use. This year, two carved and gilded tripod stands, originally supplied by Tatham & Co. for Carlton House, were fully conserved. Work has also begun on a pair of Japanese lacquer cabinets at Windsor Castle and the English giltwood tables that have supported them since the time of George IV. At Hampton Court Palace, the Armourer supervised the latest phase of the project, undertaken for the Historic Royal Palaces Trust by independent conservators, to clean and re-mount the weaponry displays in the King’s Guard Chamber. More than 1,000 treated objects were reinstated on the east wall, and a further 860 on the north and south walls were de-mounted for treatment. At the Palace of Holyroodhouse, the programme of conservation, undertaken under contract and latterly on the premises by Margaret Maran for the past 30 years, continued with the completion of The Death of Orion panel from the seventeenth-century French History of Diana series. This programme has transformed the state of the large collection of at the Palace and continues over the next 12 months with work on The Triumph of Mars from the seventeenth-century Flemish series of Planetary Gods. An independent conservator resumed work this year on the conservation of a set of seventeenth- century embroidered hangings from Mary, Queen of Scots’ Apartments. In the Master of the Household’s ‘C’ Branch workshops at Windsor, some 224 pieces of furniture and upholstery received treatment. During the coming year, craftsmen from Windsor and Marlborough House will spend short periods of time in each other’s workshops, extending the range of skills available in both teams.

14 ANNUAL R EPORT 2010 ROYAL LIBRARY AND PRINT ROOM

The book conservators completed work on 59 volumes (including photograph albums and Print Room albums), of which 24 were included in Royal Collection exhibitions. The Bindery and Drawings Conservation staff began to conserve two oriental manuscripts: an Indian album, Specimens of Persian Calligraphy and Indian Miniatures (for external loan in 2010), and the Hamse (five poems) of Neva’i. This work is expected to continue well into the next reporting year and involves removal of the binding, conservation of individual pages and re-binding. A further 210 books have been re-bound by independent conservation bookbinders. The two long- term book-refurbishment volunteers at Windsor treated 1,000 volumes in the course of the year, and during a concentrated summer project by a team of seven volunteers a further 212 books were conserved. A dozen volumes were refurbished prior to their inclusion in various exhibitions and in-house displays. A total of 99 works on paper were treated, including drawings, watercolours, prints and architectural plans. Of these, 35 were conserved and/or mounted in preparation for Royal Collection exhibitions and nine for external loans. Five watercolours were conserved and mounted for temporary displays, and four prints mounted temporarily to replace items removed for exhibition. Fourteen nineteenth-century architectural plans were conserved by three students from the BA Conservation course at Camberwell College of Art as part of an annual two-week placement. Work continued on a project to conserve and re-present the contents of the remarkable Print Room at Queen Charlotte’s Cottage, , with a further 106 prints being treated by an external conservator over the past year. This collaboration with Historic Royal Palaces combines conservation work on the prints and research into the history and formation of the display. The project will be completed during 2010.

ROYAL PHOTOGRAPH COLLECTION

A total of 181 photographs were treated in preparation for Royal Collection exhibitions opening in 2009 and 2010: 85 for The Heart of the Great Alone: Scott, Shackleton and Antarctic Photography; 22 for Victoria & Albert: Art & Love; 22 for Fenton and Cameron: Early British Photographs from the Royal Collection; and 52 for Marcus Adams: Royal Photographer. A further four photographs were prepared for a temporary display.

ROYAL ARCHIVES

The conservation of the Victorian folders continued, 16 of the folders being repaired or replaced. Work continued on conserving a series of essays by George III and a series of bills for Frederick, Prince of Wales. A volume of the diary of King George V, a volume of letters to Queen Victoria from other European sovereigns and two volumes of Queen Victoria’s papers relating to the Prince of Wales’s tours were all re- bound. A group of eighteenth-century letters from or concerning Queen Caroline Matilda of Denmark, and correspondence for 1861, were conserved and sleeved. Work was completed on conserving the edges in a volume of black-edged letters from the to Queen Victoria. About 20 other individual documents were conserved and re-housed. Fourteen items were conserved in preparation for displays, including those for the Indian and the South African State Visits.

A NNUAL R EPORT 2010 15 ACCESS AND PRESENTATION To ensure that as much of the Royal Collection as possible can be seen by members of the public; that the Collection is presented and interpreted so as to enhance the public’s appreciation and understanding and that access to the Collection is broadened and increased (subject to capacity constraints) to ensure that as many people as possible are able to view the Collection.

Access to the Royal Collection is provided in various ways, including:

• the regular opening to the public of the Official Residences of Her Majesty The Queen (managed by the Royal Collection Trust); of the private residences containing works from the Royal Collection (managed by the Private Estates); of the unoccupied palaces (managed by the Historic Royal Palaces Trust); and of Osborne House (managed by ); • changing exhibitions at The Queen’s Galleries in London and Edinburgh, and at the Drawings Gallery, Windsor; • online access at www.royalcollection.org.uk; • the publication of books and catalogues on the Collection for both academic and general-interest audiences; • the loan of works of art to other organisations for public exhibition.

BUCKINGHAM PALACE

The State Rooms

The State Rooms were open for 67 days, from 26 July to 30 September 2009 (2008: 63 days) and attracted 402,000 visitors (2008: 394,000). This result has been exceeded in only four of the 16 years since the Summer Opening began. The centrepiece of the visit to the State Rooms was an imaginative and diverse display, Queen & Commonwealth: The Royal Tour, marking the sixtieth anniversary of the London Declaration of 1949, which recognised the British monarch as Head of the Commonwealth. The exhibition evoked some of the most important Commonwealth tours undertaken by The Queen and Prince Philip, as well as some of the 170 individual official visits made to Commonwealth countries. The display, which was mainly concentrated in the Ball Supper Room, comprised more than 100 gifts presented by Commonwealth peoples, together with 28 dresses worn by The Queen on her visits. The dresses spanned the whole of Her Majesty’s reign and highlighted the ingenuity and care that has invariably been taken to ensure that the colours, traditions or symbols of the host country are incorporated into the designs. A display of presentation jewellery in the Ballroom was followed in the Ballroom Annexe by a gallery of pictorial gifts

A new visual identity has been created for the Unlimited Admission scheme, which allows visitors who buy tickets directly from the Royal Collection to return free of charge for 12 months, having converted their ticket at the end of their visit to a 1-Year Pass.

16 ANNUAL R EPORT 2010 The installation of Queen & Commonwealth: The Royal Tour for the Summer Opening of the State Rooms at Buckingham Palace, designed by George Carter. The display included over 100 gifts to The Queen and 28 dresses worn on visits to Commonwealth countries. and a short film of selected royal tours. Finally, a selection of the orders of the Commonwealth nations was displayed to visitors as they left the Ballroom. The two large paintings by Van Dyck, Charles I and with their Two Eldest Children (‘The Greate Peece’) and Charles I and M. de St Antoine, were hung in the East Gallery after their return from the exhibition Van Dyck and Britain at . This proved very successful and has allowed for a more balanced arrangement in the Picture Gallery. Guided tours of the garden at Buckingham Palace were successfully introduced during April, May and June, and are now also offered in September. Temporary displays were mounted in the Picture Gallery by staff of the Royal Library and Royal Archives in connection with the State Visits of the Presidents of (October 2009) and South Africa (March 2010). For the reception held at Buckingham Palace prior to the Indian State Visit, illustrated pages from the Padshahnama were put on display. A selection of archival and photographic material displayed for the South African President was added to the Monarchy website.

The Queen’s Gallery

The Gallery was open for 321 days during the year and attracted a total of 175,000 visitors (2008–9: 194,000). The exhibition Bruegel to Rubens: Masters of Flemish Painting, which had previously been shown at The Queen’s Gallery in Edinburgh and at the Royal Museums in Brussels, finished its run on 26 April 2009, attracting 97,250 visitors over the winter season in London. It was followed by a new presentation of Treasures from the Royal Collection and a spectacular display of more than 500 pieces of Sèvres and other French porcelain, staged to mark the publication of

A NNUAL R EPORT 2010 17 Sir Geoffrey de Bellaigue’s catalogue raisonné. The exhibition, French Porcelain for English Palaces (seen by 101,000 visitors), was accompanied by an attractive catalogue of its own by Joanna Gwilt, Sir Geoffrey’s most recent collaborator on the catalogue raisonné. The collection is the largest in existence, thanks very largely to the pronounced appetite of George IV for these objets de luxe. The sumptuous display was chiefly arranged in glazed cabinets in the Chambers Gallery. The adjacent galleries contained important pieces of French porcelain-mounted furniture and garnitures of vases, and services were displayed in the Nash Vestibule. A didactic display about the techniques and trades involved in the manufacture of Sèvres porcelain was mounted in the Education Room. The Conversation Piece: Scenes of Fashionable Life, previously shown in Edinburgh, opened in the Chambers Gallery on 30 October 2009 and attracted 37,000 visitors. Selected by the Surveyor of The Queen’s Pictures, Desmond Shawe-Taylor, the exhibition was an opportunity to display some of the best of the Royal Collection’s paintings by ‘The Sunflower Clock’ (vase Le Boitteux), Vincennes porcelain, c.1752 with later additions, on display in the exhibition French in the context of this fascinating Porcelain for English Palaces at The Queen’s Gallery, Buckingham (if somewhat elusive) genre of painting (see Palace, from 23 April to 11 October 2009. illustration on p. 6). Conversation pieces are small- scale group portraits where some activity or event unites and enlivens the figures. While formal portraiture represented public ceremonial, the conversation piece explored aspects of the life of a monarch that became more important during the Georgian and Victorian ages: the private and informal ceremonies of exemplary family life. Zoffany’s well-known depiction of the first Academicians of the Royal Academy at a life class was the focus of a separate, companion display about the role of life drawing in artistic training. This included outstanding examples by Hogarth, and , from the Print Room at Windsor Castle.

The Royal Mews

The Royal Mews was open to visitors between 28 March and 31 October 2009, and re-opened on 20 March 2010. In 2009–10, visitor numbers were 164,000 (7.4 per cent up on the previous year). Audio tours were available in English and in seven other languages. British Sign Language and verbal description tours were also available.

18 ANNUAL R EPORT 2010 A NNUAL R EPORT 2010 19 The display mounted at Buckingham Palace for the State Visit of the President of India in October 2009 included this volume of Queen Victoria’s Hindustani diary (the first of the 13 volumes to survive in the Royal Archives). Queen Victoria began to learn Hindustani in 1887 under the tutelage of one of her servants, . On the page displayed it is thought that Queen Victoria wrote the English text at the bottom; that Abdul Karim then wrote the middle section, with the English text put into the correct word order for the Hindustani translation (the Hindustani words below); and that, finally, the Queen wrote the text in characters.

WINDSOR CASTLE

The Castle received 987,000 visitors during the year (2008–9: 928,000). Numerous pictures and works of art that had been included in temporary exhibitions either at The Queen’s Galleries or elsewhere were returned to the State Apartments. Pieter Bruegel’s famous Massacre of the Innocents and a pair of paintings by Jan Bruegel the Elder were re-hung in the King’s Dressing Room after their showing in the exhibition Bruegel to Rubens, and portraits by Van Dyck were returned to the Queen’s Ballroom (traditionally also known as the Van Dyck Room) following exhibition at Tate Britain. The display of northern paintings in the King’s Apartments was enriched by some of the earliest British paintings in the Collection, dating from around 1500. Many of the finest Italian Renaissance paintings in the Collection, including works by , Agnolo and , can now be found in the adjacent King’s Closet. In December, the table in the State Dining Room was set for a Victorian dessert course and dressed with silver gilt from George IV’s Grand Service. Queen Victoria’s sleigh was again displayed in St George’s Hall, and garlands decorated the Grand Staircase on the approach to the State Apartments. Items from the Royal Library, Print Room, Royal Archives and Royal Photograph Collection were displayed in the Royal Library for The Queen’s guests in April 2009 and for The Prince of Wales’s guests

20 ANNUAL R EPORT 2010 in July 2009. A special display was mounted in the Green Drawing Room for the Indian State Visit in October 2009; a selection of works from this display has been added to the Monarchy website.

The Drawings Gallery

In addition to the changing display of drawings, the exhibition Henry VIII: A 500th Anniversary Exhibition opened on 8 April 2009 to mark the quincentenary of Henry VIII’s accession. The exhibition brought together 55 items relating to Henry VIII and Windsor, including portrait drawings by , portrait miniatures, the King’s hunting sword, books, manuscripts, a seal and a coin. Among the books were the Wriothesley Garter Book, open at a miniature of Henry VIII in Parliament in 1523, and Crescenti’s Ruralia Commoda, a printed book recently identified as containing Henry’s library inventory number. Several exhibits, including Henry VIII in Parliament in 1523, as depicted in the the ‘Black Book’, or register of the Garter, dating from Wriothesley Garter Book. The manuscript was among the the 1530s, were kindly lent for the exhibition by the exhibits in the Henry VIII exhibition in the Drawings Gallery, Dean and Canons of St George’s. Windsor Castle.

Special Visits and Research Enquiries

The Royal Library received around 120 enquiries and research visits by 29 researchers, amounting to 33 research days. There were 16 group visits, with a total of some 290 visitors. The groups included the Committee (including the Poet Laureate) for The Queen’s Gold Medal for Poetry, supporters of The Prince of Wales’s Drawing School, Patrons of the Elias Ashmole Group and of the , members of the Roxburghe Club and prize-winners in the Windsor Festival Schools competition. The Print Room received visits from 136 individual researchers and groups from Reading University, The Courtauld Institute of Art and The Courtauld Institute Summer School. A postgraduate student undertook six days’ research in the Paper Conservation Studio. The Royal Photograph Collection received visits from approximately 45 individual researchers, and from groups of students from Sotheby’s Institute of Art. The archivists dealt with 1,189 postal, telephone and e-mail enquiries requiring a written response (2008–9: 1,354), of which 382 were genealogical, 159 general and 648 for information required by the Royal Household. Sixty-seven researchers visited the Royal Archives, carrying out 340 research days (2008–9: 72 and 413). This reduction is largely a result of the completion of the research for the Common Heritage project carried out by the Prince Albert Society and of the research for the official biography of Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother by William Shawcross.

PALACE OF HOLYROODHOUSE

The Palace received 237,000 visitors during the year (2008–9: 217,000). Between Christmas and New Year, a number of events took place along the Royal Mile, culminating in a programme of activities on New Year’s Day. Jazz, folk and Celtic musicians performed ‘New Music at the Palace’ in the Mews Yard throughout the afternoon. Future innovations in the presentation of the Palace include guided tours of the medieval abbey ruins. Among the special visits to the Palace were the Lord High Commissioner’s suite, the Royal Medical Household, the Palace Guard during The ’s visit and the

The Queen’s Gallery

Two exhibitions were shown at The Queen’s Gallery in Edinburgh. The Conversation Piece: Scenes of Fashionable Life (which attracted 31,000 visitors) was followed by The Heart of the Great Alone: Scott, Shackleton and Antarctic Photography. The highly atmospheric presentation of the large-format photographs taken by Herbert Ponting on Captain Scott’s polar expedition of 1910–13, with those taken by Frank Hurley from the Shackleton expedition of 1914–16, attracted a large and to some extent new audience to the Gallery. The exhibition and its catalogue were developed in collaboration with the well- known explorer David Hempleman-Adams, who has spoken and written with the authentic voice of experience about the historic material on display. The Princess Royal, Patron of the Antarctic Heritage Trust, visited the exhibition in February. The Scotsman newspaper distributed a free print of Herbert Ponting’s The Terra Nova at the ice foot, Cape Evans to all readers to mark the opening of the exhibition. The Heart of the Great Alone attracted 33,500 visitors and will next be seen at the Canterbury Museum in Christchurch, New Zealand, from August 2010 until February 2011. The exhibition will be shown at The Queen’s Gallery in London later in 2011.

HISTORIC ROYAL PALACES

Pictures in the former category included Hans Holbein the Younger’s portrait of the Page of the Chamber, William Reskimer, and in the latter category, the anonymous Family of Henry VIII. The rare and arresting religious work, Noli me Tangere, also by Holbein, was hung to great effect on its own in the Royal Closet of the Chapel. In the Cumberland Suite, many of the most important Italian paintings in the Royal Collection, including works by , Domenichino, and Orazio and , have been hung in a spectacular new display, and the arrangement of small Dutch and Flemish ‘cabinet’ pictures in William III’s private apartments on the ground floor of the Palace has been renewed. The very large, newly cleaned Rubens canvas, Pythagoras Advocating Vegetarianism (see Annual Report 2008–9), was hung in the Public Dining Room.

LOANS FROM THE ROYAL COLLECTION

The quincentenary of the accession of Henry VIII in 1509 was marked by three major exhibitions, at the British Library, the and Hampton Court Palace. All three included significant loans from the Royal Collection and were promoted in conjunction with the smaller exhibition in the Drawings Gallery at Windsor. The final stage of the year-long, three-venue international exhibition of French bronzes was reached at The J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles, in June 2009. This showing, which included 11 major bronzes from the Royal Collection, was seen by around 100,000 visitors. At the conclusion of the exhibition, x-radiographs were taken at the Getty of the large equestrian bronze of Louis XIV by François Girardon, as a contribution to a collaborative project building up scientific data on these still under- studied objects. Substantial loans from the Print Room included 24 works by Paul and to the travelling exhibition Picturing Britain: (1731–1809) at the Castle Museum and Art Gallery, Nottingham, the of Scotland, Edinburgh, and the Royal Academy, London; 13 drawings by Leonardo to the exhibition : Hand of the Genius at the High Museum of Art, Atlanta

The image clearly shows the network of metal armatures used to support the clay before casting in bronze. It was prepared at The J.

A draft letter from King George VI and a facsimile of His Majesty’s diary entry for 3 September 1939 were included in the exhibition Outbreak 1939 at the , London. Facsimiles of three documents relating to the naming of Queensland in 1859 were made for the Queensland Royal Historical Society’s exhibition to mark the 150th anniversary of the establishment of the state.

Royal Collection Travelling Exhibitions

The touring exhibition Ten Drawings by Leonardo da Vinci: An Exhibition to Celebrate the Sixtieth Birthday of HRH The Prince of Wales closed at its final venue, , on 4 May 2009. At its four UK venues the exhibition was seen by a total of 116,000 people. To mark the 2010 Winter Olympics and Paralympics in Vancouver, The Queen lent 18 drawings – the whole of Leonardo’s ‘Anatomical Manuscript A’ – to the Vancouver Art Gallery for the exhibition Leonardo da Vinci: The Mechanics of Man. The exhibition ran from 6 February to 2 May 2010, throughout the Winter Olympics and Paralympics. During February alone it attracted over 100,000 visitors, and this figure was doubled by the close, making this the most successful exhibition ever staged at the venue.

The exhibition Leonardo da Vinci: The Mechanics of Man presented 18 sheets of anatomical drawings dating from 1510 at the Vancouver Art Gallery, British Columbia. The exhibition, which coincided with the Winter Olympics and Paralympics, attracted 208,000 visitors. This illustration is taken from the exhibition catalogue by Martin Clayton (Deputy of the Print Room) and Dr Ron Philo, published by the Royal Collection. On the right-hand page, the blocks of Leonardo’s original Italian text – in mirror-writing – have been translated into English.

24 ANNUAL R EPORT 2010 INTERPRETATION To ensure that the Collection is presented and interpreted so as to enhance the public’s appreciation and understanding.

The range of interpretive methods in use has been further expanded, and now includes:

• audio tours for adults (in eight languages) and for children and families at Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle and the Palace of Holyroodhouse, with an additional tour for children and families at the Royal Mews; during the year, four new exhibition tours were developed and the four main palace tours were revised to take account of changes to displays; • guided tours for all visitors at the Royal Mews, House and ; • private evening tours at Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle and the Palace of Holyroodhouse; • introductory talks, lectures and gallery talks for exhibitions at The Queen’s Galleries; • guided tours of the Great Kitchen and Undercroft at Windsor Castle; • guided tours for deaf and hearing-impaired visitors at Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle, the Palace of Holyroodhouse and The Queen’s Gallery, Buckingham Palace, and verbal description tours for blind and partially sighted visitors to all sites in London, Windsor and Edinburgh; • education and family rooms at Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle, the Palace of Holyroodhouse, the Royal Mews and The Queen’s Gallery, Buckingham Palace; • learning programmes for adults, children in family groups, school visits and visitors with special access requirements; • guidebooks in eight languages; • new website features, including podcasts, music tracks and British Sign Language films.

Every year the Royal Collection participates in the annual benchmarking survey run by the Association of Leading Visitor Attractions (ALVA), with around 40 other UK attractions. Research is carried out in autumn, spring and summer, and the results are measured against the average score of all participating organisations. Visitor satisfaction for Royal Collection sites was within the following ranges: Overall enjoyment +1.5 to +1.7; Value for money +1.0 to +1.4 (Excellent (+2) Good (+1) Just OK (0) Poor (−1) Very Poor (−2)).

EDUCATION

Schools

For the second year running, the number of primary and secondary school pupils visiting the Official Residences has exceeded 30,000. This year, Windsor Castle and the Palace of Holyroodhouse have received Sandford Awards for Heritage Education, given in recognition of high standards of service and facilities for school groups. In a ceremony in St George’s Hall, Windsor Castle, on 15 February, The presented the awards to the Royal Collection Education team and other organisations, including the and English Heritage.

A NNUAL R EPORT 2010 25 Partner Schools projects have been initiated at Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle and the Palace of Holyroodhouse, catering for children who rarely have access to cultural or heritage sites. The head teacher of Montem Primary School in Slough, which was selected as the Partner School for Windsor Castle, has emphasised the value of the scheme, not only as a means of enriching the learning experience, but in developing the confidence of teachers in cross-curricular, project-based teaching. At The Queen’s Gallery in London, 170 children from four local schools took part in The Great Art Quest, organised by The Prince’s Foundation for Children & the Arts. The participants explored the Gallery with an artist and a storyteller, and the resulting art and written work was exhibited at Wimbledon College of Art in January 2010.

Families

Family activities for school holidays and half-term breaks were developed further at all sites. Family Rooms, offering visitors a range of self-guided activities, trails and drop-in events, have proved very popular. Approximately 20,000 children and adults visited the Family Room at Buckingham Palace during the Summer Opening, and the activities on offer in the Family Room at the Palace of Holyroodhouse were commended in an article in The Scotsman. The Royal Mews and Windsor Castle both participated in The Big Draw, a national campaign to encourage children and adults to draw. At the Royal Mews, 387 children and adults took part, while over four days at Windsor, 660 children took The Big Draw out into the grounds to record the life of the Castle.

Adults

The fourteenth annual Royal Collection Studies Summer School took place in September 2009, with 30 participants from nine countries. The course, organised by the Attingham Trust under the direction of , included in-depth visits to Windsor Castle, Buckingham Palace, the Historic Royal Palaces and Abbey, with Royal Collection Curatorial and Conservation staff once again undertaking numerous lecturing and guiding sessions. Exhibitions at both of The Queen’s Galleries have been supported by lecture programmes. In Edinburgh, David Hempleman-Adams launched a successful programme for The Heart of the Great Alone, and joint events were held with the Royal Academy, the Strang Print Room at University College London, the Institute of Education and the National Gallery in connection with The Conversation Piece. A study morning was organised in partnership with The for French Porcelain for English Palaces. A Royal Archives Education Policy Group was set up to examine how the Royal Archives might extend its work in formal education. As a result, a trial web-based learning resource will be launched during the coming year on the Monarchy website. More use will be made of Royal Archives material in the schools programme and links will be developed with higher education establishments to encourage use of this resource.

A NNUAL R EPORT 2010 29 PUBLISHING

Nine new Royal Collection titles were published during the year. The highlight was the appearance in May 2009 of French Porcelain in the Collection of Her Majesty The Queen by Sir Geoffrey de Bellaigue. This monumental three-volume work is the product of more than 40 years’ research. Reviewers praised ‘the meticulous and profound scholarly research’ and the superb quality of the (more than 3,000) illustrations, ‘unparalleled by any published thus far and unlikely to be seen again in print form’. The catalogue was shortlisted for the British Book Design and Production Awards in October 2009. The companion exhibition catalogue, French Porcelain for English Palaces by Joanna Gwilt, was Highly Commended in its category. Editorial work and photography have been completed for the catalogue raisonné of Victorian miniatures by Vanessa Remington, which will appear in 2010. Work continued on several other Collection catalogues: arms and armour, the military maps of George III, oriental porcelain and works of art, and sculpture. In addition, with the help of a Curatorial Research Grant from the Paul Mellon Centre, work has commenced on updating the text of Sir ’s landmark catalogues of Tudor, Stuart and Georgian paintings. Research and editorial work continued on the project to publish the Paper Museum of (1588–1657), a collection of some 10,000 drawings and prints now divided between the Royal Library at Windsor, the British Library, the Institut de France and various other public and private collections. In the course of the year, generous support for this important project was provided by the Michael Bishop Foundation. The fifteenth volume in the series – Flora: The Aztec Herbal, by Martin Clayton, Luigi Guerrini and Alejandro de Ávila – was published in December 2009, with additional assistance from the Comune di Milano. Several further volumes are currently in preparation, with the next, Classical Manuscript Illustrations, expected in 2011.

A NNUAL R EPORT 2010 33 ACCESSIONS AND ACQUISITIONS To ensure that appropriate acquisitions are made when resources become available, to enhance the Collection and displays of exhibits for the public.

ROYAL LIBRARY

An elaborate printed facsimile, around 50 printed books and several sets of coins and medals were received as gifts. The facsimile reproduces a document in the Vatican Secret Archive – the ‘Causa Anglica’ or formal request from the to Pope Clement VII in 1530 for the annulment of the marriage of Henry VIII to Catherine of Aragon. One of the most striking of the printed volumes is a new book on Canova, in which the front cover consists of a carved marble block, itself a reproduction of a Canova sculpture. This unusual volume, one of a limited edition, was presented by the publisher, Marilena Ferrari, in October 2009. The coins and medals presented by the Royal Mint include proof sets of the 2009 and 2010 currency coins, and proof £5 coins commemorating the sixtieth birthday of The Prince of Wales in 2008, the 450th anniversary of the accession of Elizabeth I in 2008, and the 500th anniversary of the accession of Henry VIII in 2009. Other printed books to enter the Royal Library this year include Terence Camerer Cuss’s The English Watch, 1585–1970, presented to The Queen by Sir Harry Djanogly, and the most recent volumes in the History of Parliament Trust series, presented by the Trust.

PRINT ROOM

An archive of 62 drawings for dresses by and his studio, including many for HM The Queen, Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother and Princess Margaret, was purchased by The Queen. The following were received as gifts from the artists concerned: a drawing of a Channel Tunnel boring machine by Dr Ralph Lillford (see illustration opposite); two drawings and a print by Dan Llywelyn Hall of Henry Allingham and Harry Patch, the last British survivors of the Great War; and a drawing by Pepper, ‘Long Passage’: View from the Palm House, Kew Gardens.

Norman Hartnell, A design for an evening dress for HRH The Princess Elizabeth, , c.1947–52. Pencil and watercolour. This is one of 62 Hartnell designs acquired by The Queen in July 2009.

34 ANNUAL R EPORT 2010 Ralph Lillford, Channel Tunnel Boring Machine, 1991. Pencil and Conté crayon. Dr Lillford was the only artist allowed into the Channel Tunnel construction site, and made a sequence of large drawings of the spectacular machinery involved. He presented this drawing to The Queen in 2009.

ROYAL PHOTOGRAPH COLLECTION

Two photographs by Hughes & Mullins of tableaux vivants involving members of Queen Victoria’s family (The Brawl and The Lady of Shalott) were purchased by The Queen. A collection of 227 photographs relating to the Russian and Greek royal families was presented by Princess Irina Bagration. This gift complements the material received from Princess Bagration in 2008. Other items were sent by various sections of the Royal Household, and a large collection was received from the Household of The , consisting of more than 70 albums and a number of framed photographs.

ROYAL ARCHIVES

Various groups of records, covering the years 1814–2008, were transferred from Household departments. Other records received included letters from Queen Mary and other members of the Royal Family to Mrs Sarah Ellis, the Secretary of the London Needlework Guild (gift of Geoffrey Castle); papers of Jack Le Vien concerning his film, A King’s Story (bequest of Jack Le Vien); apologia written by Caroline, , for her daughter, Princess Charlotte (gift of Mrs Anni Stewart); the work diary of James Lamb, Resident Architect at Windsor Castle, 1934 (gift of Mrs Penny Long); and late Victorian printed notices concerning procedures in the event of a fire at Windsor Castle.

A NNUAL R EPORT 2010 35 The Imperial Russian range, a set of coffee cups and saucers with guilloché decoration inspired by Fabergé, was developed for Royal Collection shops. It is also available online.

TRADING ACTIVITIES

RETAIL The Royal Collection’s on-site retail income finished the year at £8.9 million, an improvement of 8.4 per cent on the previous year. As visitor numbers were 81,000 ahead of last year, this represented an increase in spend per visitor of 4.1 per cent (£0.17). Much of this increase was driven by overseas visitors, especially Europeans, attracted by favourable sterling exchange rates. The effects of the anticipated economic downturn were therefore minimised. New lines of merchandise were developed in support of exhibitions at The Queen’s Galleries, with a range of goods based on the historic Union flag from the 1910–11 Scott expedition proving especially successful. A major refurbishment of the Middle Ward Shop at Windsor Castle was completed in March 2010. There was a significant improvement in off-site sales, which increased by £199,000 (106.6 per cent). This was the result of the new e-commerce site and an increase in wholesale business, which was strengthened by representation on a dedicated stand at the Gift Fair.

36 ANNUAL R EPORT 2010 The overall gross profit margin has improved from 59 per cent last year to 60 per cent this year, thanks to very little markdown activity. This may be difficult to maintain in future, however, with increasing production costs and the possibility of increases in the rate of VAT.

CATERING

Following the successful pilot project in 2008, a new café was established on the West Terrace at Buckingham Palace during the Summer Opening, offering a selection of hot and cold drinks, light refreshments, ice cream and cakes. With seating for more than 200 customers, the café provided a welcome opportunity for repose before visitors continued through the garden. Operated by a contractor on a profit-share basis, the café generated total sales of £513,000, compared with £210,000 in the previous year, an increase of 144 per cent. Management of the café at the Palace of Holyroodhouse was placed under contract in March 2009. The café has undergone refurbishment and re-decoration to enhance the exterior and to create a more inviting dining space within. The trading performance has improved, with turnover for the 12 months to February 2010, the first full year under a contractor, increasing by £67,000 (15 per cent) compared with the previous year.

PHOTOGRAPHIC SERVICES

The main source of income for the Picture Library was the sale of reproduction rights for television and publications. The facility to download low-resolution images free of charge for academic, personal or charitable purposes, introduced last year, has brought about an increase in the number of online applications. Around 7,000 images are available online, with more being added on a monthly basis. The most significant photographic project during the year was for the catalogue raisonné of Victorian miniatures. Photography was also undertaken for the Cassiano dal Pozzo catalogue series, for the re-publication of Sir Oliver Millar’s catalogues of British paintings, and for the following current or forthcoming Royal Collection publications: Marcus Adams: Royal Photographer; Fenton and Cameron: Early British Photographs from the Royal Collection; Dutch Landscapes; The Royal Portrait: Image and Impact; Passionate Patrons: Victoria & Albert and the Arts; Victoria & Albert: Art & Love; Leonardo da Vinci: The Mechanics of Man. Photography was completed for the online exhibitions accompanying the Indian and the South African State Visits, and photographic material was supplied for a wide range of external exhibition catalogues, including Michelangelo’s Dream at The Courtauld Gallery, London, and Picturing Britain: Paul Sandby (1731–1809) at the Castle Museum and Art Gallery, Nottingham, the National Gallery of Scotland, Edinburgh, and the Royal Academy, London. Filming was arranged at various locations, including Hampton Court Palace, Osborne House, Windsor Castle, Balmoral Castle and Buckingham Palace, for the BBC programme Victoria: A Royal Love Story, and for the series The Seven Ages of Britain. The Picture Library exhibited at the Frankfurt and London Book Fairs and attended the Picture Buyers’ Fair.

A NNUAL R EPORT 2010 37 FINANCIAL OVERVIEW

Incoming Resources

The summarised financial statements set out on pages 41–2 indicate that the Royal Collection increased its incoming resources by £2,979,000 (9.5 per cent), from £31,442,000 in 2008–9 to £34,421,000 in 2009–10. This was achieved through an overall increase in visitor numbers of 81,000 (4.1 per cent), from 1,993,000 to 2,074,000. The growth in admissions income of £1,959,000, from £21,348,000 to £23,307,000, is therefore attributable to increased visitor numbers and higher admission charges. Income from retail, catering and photographic services increased by £724,000 (7.5 per cent), from £9,620,000 to £10,344,000. Although largely influenced by the growth in visitor numbers, increased spend per visitor and an increase in off-site retail sales have also made a significant contribution to this year’s increase in retail income.

Charitable Expenditure

Expenditure on charitable activities increased by £1,455,000 (6.9 per cent), from £21,179,000 in 2008–9 to £22,634,000 in 2009–10. The main component of charitable expenditure is staff costs, which rose by £693,000 (8 per cent), from £8,609,000 to £9,302,000, as a result of salary inflation and increased resources in custodial control, presentation and interpretation, and access.

Net Incoming Resources and Cash Flow

The Trust’s net incoming resources, before recognising the pension scheme actuarial gain of £800,000, amounted to £1,908,000 (2008–9: £802,000).
