Description
During the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, the British established a presence in India that was to last almost two centuries. Throughout these years of British control, exciting moments of discovery occurred as the two cultures interacted. From Merchants to Emperors, a collection of drawings, watercolors, photographs, prints and sketchbooks together with a fascinating narrative written by two eminent authorities on India, provides a record of the lives of the British in their adopted land.
