Very good condition overall.; This book accompanies a major V&A exhibition that explores three hundred years of mutual fascination between East and West, a period of discoveries, encounters and exchanges initiated by the Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama''s discovery of a sea route to India in 1948. This established, for the first time, direct relations between Europe and maritime Asia and ushered in a dynamic period of commercial, artistic and technological exchange. This compelling story is presented through wide-ranging essays by leading international scholars, including specialists from the V&A. The text is complemented by a sumptuous range of images, many of these remarkable and luxurious pieces being published for the first time. Discoveries, the book''s opening section, examines the western fascination for the materials and technologies of Asia, which existed even before direct contact was established, and charts the route that early Europeans took to the Indies and the new, sophisticated worlds they found there. Encounters, the second section, looks at the human dimension of the story, the meeting of peoples from East and West in different spheres, from highly formalised court audiences to intimate relationships. The exotic visitors from the West aroused much curiosity in Asia as demonstrated in the many Asian depictions of foreigners and their ships. This section also explores how these pale-skinned, strangely dressed peoples were perceived in the East and how images of them were appropriated into existing Asian iconographies. The final section, Exchanges, explores cross-influences in taste, technology and trade. In Europe there was an immediate demand for luxuries such as porcelain, lacquer and textiles made in Asia but suited to western living. In Asia, it was European technology that was most sought after. Clocks, guns, maps and lenses were all imported and simulated by different Asian cultures. In its close examination of the relationships diplomatic, religious and personal between East and West, this book provides both an important scholarly record of this vibrant period in world history and a beautiful document of the works of art and industry that it produced. …

Sir Keith Alexander Jackson was a British officer, notably fighting in the First Anglo-Afghan War where he served as a Captain in the 4th Light Dragoons, integral to the campaign to replace pro-Russian Emir of Kabul with the pro-British Shah Shuja. This work 'Views in Affghaunistan' is considered Jackson's Magnum Opus.The work was published during the height of British successes in Afghanistan; prior to their withdrawal from the country and following on from this successful campaign. Jackson was granted a leave of absence, during which he was able to arrange the publication of this work. The work is highly regarded for the depth of historical and topographical information it provides, but it is the extremely detailed lithographic illustrations for which the work is most widely praised. The plates include not only pictorial information regarding the military campaigns in the area, but also a wider understanding of the Afghan culture and people. The work offered a previously unseen snapshot into the topography, culture and people of Afghanistan, as well as a firsthand account of the military campaign, including specific military engagements and the occasional lithograph of British officers. The work is not only beautifully illustrated, but an integral first hand account of a decisive military campaign, with this particular copy complete with fine plates.
