New Haven, Connectict: Yale University Press for the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art, 2011. Minimal wear to jacket. No tears. Book very clean. Binding tight. 320pp In response to conquests in mid-18th-century wars, Britons developed a keen interest in how their colonies actually looked. Artistic representations of these faraway places, claiming topographic accuracy from being "drawn on the spot," became increasingly frequent as the British Empire extended its reach during and after the Seven Years War. This is the first book to examine the country's early imperial landscape art from a broad comparative perspective. Chapters on the West Indies, Canada, the United States, the Pacific, Australia, and India show how British artists linked colonial territories with their homeland. This is both a ravishingly beautiful art book and a historical analysis of how British visual culture entwined with the politics of colonization. First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Near Fine. 250mm x 290mm.
