Reviews

“Pearls for the Crown makes a significant contribution to current studies on the early modern pearl trade, nature, art, and race. It showcases how these marine gems came to embody imperial ideologies rooted in ancient Roman texts—and what textual sources and the display of pearls in artworks and rituals reveal about their worth.” —Laura Fernández-González, author of Philip II of Spain and the Architecture of Empire
