Abstract

Art historian Meredith Martin and historian Gilliam Weiss teamed up to combine their analytical skills to study and scrutinize a visual legacy of the I ancien régime i that remains understudied although - so they rightly claim and clearly explain - has been "hiding in plain sight". Shockingly, the analysed manuals celebrate the "transformation of [imprisoned] persons into things", and describe and glorify the necessity for Muslin galley slaves for the accomplishment of Mediterranean dominance.
