GREAT BRITAIN – Group of 17 books on British country houses. 20th–21st centuries.

From the working library of MAC II, a collection of books on British country houses. The United Kingdom’s heritage of stately homes and interiors formed a significant part of Mica Ertegun’s dedication to strengthening British-American cultural relations, spending much time in the United Kingdom not least in her role establishing Ertegun House at the University of Oxford in 2012. In 2017, Mrs Ertegun received an honorary CBE conferred by Elizabeth II.
