Sample Book Insights:

#1 On a misty May night in 1876, three men broke into a fashionable address in Piccadilly and stole a painting. The woman in the painting, already famed throughout London as the most exquisite beauty ever to grace a canvas, gazed down with an imperious and inquisitive eye.

#2 The painting was stolen by Adam Worth, a criminal mastermind, in 1876. It was an act of hubris and romance, as Georgiana and her portrait represented the pinnacle of English high society. Worth, by contrast, was a German-born Jew raised in abject poverty in America.
