This book traces world journeys of early modern visual images from Europe to distant parts of the world - India, Japan, China, Brazil, Chile - and their return, altered but still recognizable, and ready to be reused with an awareness of their recent travels.

Rose Marie San Juan is Reader in History of Art at University College London.
