Description: Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 2011. 29cm., hardcover, 496pp., 271 illus., many in color. Summary: From the “Age of Discovery” to the Age of Abolition: Europe and the World Beyond focuses geographically on peoples of South America and the Mediterranean as well as Africa—but conceptually it emphasizes the many ways that visual constructions of blacks mediated between Europe and a faraway African continent that was impinging ever more closely on daily life, especially in cities and ports engaged in slave trade. Images of blacks during this period did not follow European contact per se but rather tracked the professions involved in painting, engraving, and print making, which were primarily based in Holland. Dutch masters’ representational mode dominated the depiction of distant lands, and their works are featured in Part 2 of Volume III.
