Collecting across cultures material exchanges in the early modern Atlantic world

"The fourteen essays in Collecting Across Cultures represent new work by an international group of historians, art historians, and historians of science. Each author explores a specific aspect of the cross-cultural history of collecting and display from the dawn of the sixteenth century to the early decades of the nineteenth century. As the essays attest, an examination of early modern collecting in cross-cultural contexts sheds light on the creative and complicated ways in which objects in collections served to create knowledge - some factual, some fictional - about distant peoples in an increasingly transnational world."-- Publisher's website.
