This pioneering study argues that the concept of ‘empire’ belongs at the centre, rather than in the margins, of British art history. Twenty essays by authors from four continents offer innovative methodological approaches to the analysis of visual art as it was produced, exhibited, and distributed throughout the British Empire.
