dc.description.abstractThis article investigates the influence of Louis XIV imagery on medals and tapestries commissioned by the first duke of Marlborough and his supporters from  to . To commemorate the martial ascendency of Britain, Marlborough and his allies employed models of representation developed for the Sun King by his image-makers to document his history visually. Here this is argued to be an act akin to spoliation — the theft of artefacts by a victor as symbolic enslavement of the vanquished enemy — ironically revealing the abiding influence of French culture on British material histories of the early eighteenth centuryen_AU
