A highly original history of American portraiture that places the experiences of enslaved people at its center

Over the course of the eighteenth century, Anglo-Americans purchased an unprecedented number and array of goods. This volume investigates these diverse artifacts - from portraits and city views to gravestones, dressing furniture, and prosthetic devices - to explore how elite American consumers assembled objects to form a new civil society on the margins of the British Empire.
