The British engagement with India was an intensely visual one.
Images of the subcontinent, produced by artists and travellers in
the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century heyday of the East India
Company, reflect the role it played in Indian life. They mirror
significant shifts in British policy and attitudes towards India.
The Company's story is one of wealth, power, and the pursuit of
profit. It changed what people in Europe ate, what they drank, and
how they dressed. Ultimately, it laid the foundations of the
British Raj. But few historians have considered the visual sources
that survive and their implications for the link between images and
empire, pictures and power. This book draws on the unrivalled
riches of the British Library, telling the story of individual
images, their creators, and the people and places they depict. It
will present a detailed picture of the Company and its complex
relationship with India, its people and cultures.
