An Empire of Images: Visual Culture and the British in India, 1688–1815
Chatterjee, Apurba (University of Reading)
This book demonstrates eighteenth-century Britons' imperial self-image and political culture of legitimation in South Asia through art by the British and Indians. By making the case for a colonial visual archive, intersecting with EIC and private written archives, we can perceive the outlines of the expansive domination that emerged later.
