- This wide-ranging and richly-illustrated study is the first detailed examination of Victorian Britain’s leading war artist. Butler rose to critical acclaim for her historical and contemporary paintings of war, recording Britain in martial mode from Waterloo to the First World War. Through a detailed and historically contextualized exploration of Victorian women’s art training, it demonstrates how Butler’s skill and aptitude navigated a prejudicially gendered world. It deploys travel theory to uniquely position Butler as a travelling subject at the centre of both the vistas and discourses of empire. The study is underpinned by extensive archival research, including hitherto unexplored archives.
