Description

Explore the complex history of African art markets and trans-imperial cultural flows with this scholarly study from Bloomsbury. This book examines the early collections held at Liverpool's World Museum, which highlight the deep commercial and shipping connections between the city and Africa's Atlantic coast. The text focuses on several thousand artifacts from western Africa brought to northwest England between 1894 and 1916. It analyzes the collecting efforts of Arnold Ridyard, a Liverpool steam ship engineer, whose work was influenced by the maritime capacity to link distant people and places. Readers will learn how Ridyard's Methodist background played a role in his collecting methods and how these objects moved across borders. This work provides a detailed look at the historical context of museum collections and the movement of cultural items during the early colonial period.
