Description
A richly illustrated history of the diplomatic embassy, from its ancient origins to its enduring presence in the modern world. This comprehensive account explores the evolution of the embassy, tracing its emergence and adaptation over time. From its precursors in antiquity to its pinnacle during the nineteenth century, the embassy has navigated changing international landscapes, including the tumultuous wars of religion and encounters in the Far East. G. R. Berridge examines how this European institution has evolved its staffing, architecture, and communication methods to meet new challenges. Infused with vivid anecdotes of remarkable individuals and the creation of influential family dynasties, this book offers a fascinating exploration of the embassy's complex history, illustrated throughout with vibrant images.
