The biographical memoirs of Captain William Edmeades, 1766-1852, the honorable East India Company / [edited by Michael Baker and Patricia Baker]. Captain William Edmeades wrote his biographical memoir at the age of 70, having retired from the Honourable East India Company at the age of 40. Edmeades had gone to sea aged fourteen in 1780 as midshipman on the ship Hillsborough, and had risen through the ranks to captain, retiring in 1806. His memoirs describe his life at sea, his career and voyages, during a time when Britain was almost coninuously at war. He saw action at the taking of the Cape of Good Hope in 1806, leading a brigade of company officers and sailors. After his company service he settled at Nurstead Court, Kent, purchased by his father in 1767, and undertook various tasks such as remodeling the house as a fine Regency villa and improving the local church. The memoirs are supplemented by letters written by his brother, at sea at the same time as William. The editors of this text have added footnotes, a summary of Edmeades' voyages, and an index. 2003. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 92EDMEADES

The first panoramas : visions of British imperialism /Denise Blake Oleksijczuk. "The First Panoramas is a cultural history of the first three decades of the panorama, a three-hundred-sixty-degree visual medium patented by the artist Robert Barker in Britain in 1787. A towering two-story architectural construction inside which spectators gazed on a 10,000-square-foot painting, Barker's new technology was designed to create an impression of total verisimilitude for the observer. In the beautifully illustrated The First Panoramas, Denise Blake Oleksijczuk demonstrates the complexity of the panoramas' history and cultural impact, exploring specific exhibits: View of Edinburgh and the Adjacent Country from the Calton Hill (1788), View of London from the Roof of the Albion Mill (1791), View of the Grand Fleet Moored at Spithead (1793), and the two different versions of View of Constantinople (1801). In addition to the art itself, she examines the panoramas' intriguing descriptive keys--single-sheet diagrams that directed spectators to important sites in the representation, which evolved over time to give the observer greater perceptual control over the view. Using the surviving evidence, much of it never published before, on the early exhibitions of these massive installations, Oleksijczuk reconstructs the relationships between specific paintings, their accompanying printed guides, and the collective experiences of different audiences. She argues that by transporting its spectators to increasingly distant locations, first in the city and country and then in the world beyond Britain's borders, the panorama created a spatial and temporal disjunction between "here" and "there" that helped to forge new national and social identities"--Provided by publisher. 2011. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 7.047(42)"17"
