Lasting eight years it played a  crucial role in the changing perceptions and  practice of British Imperial rule in India and much  has been written on the subject prior to this. The  aim of this publication however is to explore the  ways in which the three chimneypieces commissioned  by Hastings during his trial, may relate to their  context. This takes into consideration the  accusations made against Hastings in his  impeachment, and whether the highly innovative  iconography of the chimneypieces may be seen as some  form of response. The chimneypiece has been a much  neglected area of study: as a form it became an  important site for the expression of social status,  wealth and ideologies of the eighteenth century and  Warren Hastings'' use of them may be seen to interact  with his ideologies of Anglo-Indian relations;  ideologies under challenge during the trial.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783838333786\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThomas Banks'' and John Bacon''s chimneypieces for Warren Hastings at Daylesford House (1792-6)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783838333786","offer_id":39498933469277,"sku":"9783838333786","price":49.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/0290f31c-24b6-4fa0-bcec-2917dae8657f.jpg?v=1758259440","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/decorative-india-von-madeleine-perridge","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
