Book Description
Excerpt from Art-Manufactures of India: Specially Compiled for the Glasgow International Exhibition, 1888 The following pages contain a brief account of the most important art-manufactures of India. They are intended to give a general idea of such articles to the visitors at the Glasgow International Exhibition. The present collection there is not only a representative one, but also includes many articles of the best and purest workmanship. That it has been possible to get together such an assortment of Indian art-ware within so short time and with such small provision of funds, is largely due to the successful management of the late Colonial and Indian Exhibition. The knowledge which it imparted to the people of Great Britain about the resources of India, and the clever ingenuity of their fellow-subjects in turning out beautiful and original examples of art-workmanship, has now begun to bear some fruit. A large number out of the millions of visitors before whose eyes the Colonial and Indian Exhibition displayed the artistic wealth of India carried back with them a desire to possess specimens of such art, and the large number of such specimens which have through its means been scattered over the length and breadth of the land have created for Indian handiwork a taste of which the value is most important to Indian interests. It is now said that not only in Great Britain, but also on the Continent of Europe, this taste is creating a public opinion that no salon, however brilliant it may be in other respects, can be considered fashionable or perfect unless it possesses at least a few decorative articles of Indian manufacture.

Book Description
Examines the role of the East India Company in the production and development of British art, demonstrating how art and related forms of culture were closely tied to commerce and the rise of the commercial state. This book examines the role of the East India Company in the production and development of British art during the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, when a new "school" of British art was in its formative stages with the foundation of exhibiting societies and the Royal Academy in 1768. It focuses on the Company's patronage, promotion and uses of art, both in Britain and in India and the Far East, and how the Company and its trade with the East were represented visually, through maritime imagery, landscape, genre painting and print-making. It also considers how, for artists such as William Hodges and Arthur William Devis, the East India Company, and its provision of a wealthy market in British India, provided opportunities for career advancement, through alignment with Company commercial principles. In this light, the book's main concern is to address the conflicted and ambiguous nature of art produced in the service of a corporation that was the "scandal of empire" for most of its existence, and how this has shaped and distorted our understanding of the history of British art in relation to the concomitant rise of Britain as a self-consciously commercial and maritime nation, whose prosperity relied upon global expansion, increasing colonialism and the development of mercantile organisations.
