Vertiginous Mirrors by Rose Marie San Juan
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. -- .-
