Beskrivning
Combining strikingly new scholarship by art historians, historians, and ethnomusicologists, this interdisciplinary volume illustrates trade ties within East Asia, and from East Asia outwards, in the years 1550 to 1800.
Tamara H. Bentley is Professor of Asian Art History at Colorado College in the United States. She has published a book on the Chinese 17th century painter and printmaker Chen Hongshou, and she also writes about art and international trade.

"There are many strands that hold this collection together, tightly and in a well-organised fashion. It is this aspect that makes Bentley’s volume a very charming and delightful work. One may round off these lines by adding that Picturing Commerce is nicely printed and finely edited. The index is very reliable, and the illustrations are well selected. Without doubt, this is a fine product, which historians interested in circumglobal exchange will enjoy reading." - Roderich Ptak, Journal of Asian History, 53, 2 (2019)
