Presented by Kenneth Hudson 4: Robert Clive 's Cabinet of Curiosities
Two portraits of Robert Clive hang at Powis Castle. They show a well-fed, slightly disgruntled-looking man, with a large mouth and a somewhat bulbous nose. It could well be the face of a successful industrialist or possibly a judge. It is, in fact, the face of a man who laid the foundations of British rule in India. Readers SEAN BARRETR
