Memoirs of a Picture is a delightful and entertaining book that combines elements of biography, history, and satire. The 'picture' referred to in the title is a fictional painting that serves as a device for Collins to tell a series of humorous and enlightening stories about artists, writers, and other colorful characters from the 18th century. This book is a wonderful introduction to the cultural milieu of the era and a testament to Collins' wit and imagination.
