In 1920, Ima Hogg began an extensive collection of arts and antiques that would chronicle America's tastes, styles, and customs from colonial times to the Victorian era. She continued to acquire works for her magnificent Houston home, Bayou Bend, until her death in 1975. Today, Bayou Bend is owned and operated by the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and is regarded as one of the country's foremost collections of Americana. This volume records over 1,100 superb examples of furniture, paintings, and decorative arts in the collection. This beautiful book reflects more than ten years of research, documentation, and technical examination of the collection.
