Recenzii

‘This is the first attempt to look at all the artworks produced by the East India Company, as a corporate entity. Through detective investigation, Howes brings the dispersed collection back together both as a narrative and as a collection, connecting also to current debates about empire, capitalism and memorials.’—Giles Tillotson
‘The complexity of the East India Company is one of the reasons British Empire is so poorly understood. Howes does vital work shining light on one particular aspect of its history – a real education for me.’—Sathnam Sanghera
