Description
Exhibiting the Empire explores how various cultural products were used to record, celebrate and question the development of the British Empire. These products included paintings, prints, photographs, panoramas, and more, which served multiple purposes such as promoting trade, asserting authority, or commemorating important events. The book considers a broad range of media and 'imperial moments' to highlight the contingent and changing nature of imperial display. Written by leading scholars from diverse disciplinary backgrounds, individual chapters bring fresh perspectives to the interpretation of media, material culture, and display in relation to the history of the British Empire. This collection represents an original contribution to understanding the relationship between culture and the British Empire, making it a valuable resource for scholars and students interested in British history, art history, and the history of museums and collecting.
