The book serves as a comprehensive survey of these objects, examining their historical context and the British perception of Asia over four centuries through the lens of Orientalism, as articulated by Edward Said. It highlights the evolution of chinoiserie and Japonisme, detailing how British interpretations of Asian art and culture were shaped by trade, artistic practices, and colonial influences. The richly illustrated volume aims to make these often-overlooked collections more accessible to researchers and the public, while also prompting reflection on the legacies of imperialism and cultural exchange. pubtype: Review doctype: Book Review src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
