"Tobin combines an exacting and often lyrical evocation of visual effects in the paintings she considers with the explication of a remarkable range of historical occasions, situations, and transitions. Through her patient accounting of individual images, she opens up wide vistas on the operations of British colonialism while still rendering those operations with dimensionality and great nuance."--Jill Campbell, author o"f Nature's Masques: Gender and Identity in Fielding's Plays and Novels"
