Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Published to accompany a landmark Victoria & Albert Museum exhibition, this sumptuously illustrated volume explores three centuries of artistic, commercial, and cultural exchange between Europe and Asia following Vasco da Gama's 1498 voyage to India. It provides a fascinating, comprehensive look at how East and West shaped each other's art, technology, and tastes. Edited by Anna Jackson and Amin Jaffer, Encounters: The Meeting of Asia and Europe 1500 - 1800 traces a dynamic era of discovery and mutual fascination. The text is divided into three thematic sections—Discoveries, Encounters, and Exchanges—that delve into everything from early exploration and formal court audiences to the surging European demand for Asian porcelain and textiles, alongside the Asian adoption of European clocks and lenses.
