Translating India: Mughal and French encounters in the 18th-century by Dr Chanchal Dadlani

Past Event
Heightened contact between India and France in the 18th-century resulted in the circulation of images and ideas between the Mughal court and Versailles. In about 1774, an officer of the French East India Company collaborated with Indian artists and translators to produce an album that embodies these exchanges.
