"All in all, De-Illustrating the History of the British Empire with its wide range of visual source materials underlines how images have contributed to imperial myth-making and examines their legacy in a postcolonial world... the single articles are highly recommendable to cultural studies researchers with an interest in cultural history, visual culture, or imperial history." - Nora Pleßke, Journal for the Study of British Cultures
