New scholarly volume on the iconography of slavery in European art

A New scholarly volume has been published on the iconography of slavery in European art, exploring imagery both old and new.  The volume has been published by the Warburg Institute, edited by Jean Michel Massing (Cambridge) and Elizabeth McGrath (Warburg) and includes scholarship on the imagery of slaves and slavery in European art between the Renaissance and the period of Abolitionism. It resulted from a conference held at the Warburg at the end of 2007. You will find a short account of the book and list of contents on the Institute's website, linked here:
