| Description: |
Pearls have enthralled global consumers since antiquity, and the Spanish monarchs Ferdinand and Isabella explicitly charged Columbus with finding pearls, as well as gold and silver, when he sailed westward in 1492. American Baroque charts Spain''s exploitation of Caribbean pearl fisheries to trace the genesis of its maritime empire. |
