We have taken care to show the relationship between the costumes and the cloths in which the apparels were made. And what is revealed is the love of dignity of our men and women through the ages their sense of pleasure in decoration of the body and the heightenings they desired in color and form. Ans we are fascinated by the genius of the peasant-artisans who made these fabrics." - dust jacket descriptions. Marg Publications hardcover books

1926D14301926. Very Good. Grey cloth over boards 9.75” x 7.5” with “Photographs” blindstamped on upper board; 23 grey heavy cardstock leaves 17 of which feature tipped-on black-and-white photographs 90 images in all most of them 3” x 4” though some are a bit larger or smaller with handwritten notations. Fine – a careful and tidy collection of photographs all neatly tipped-on labeled and dated by hand. <br/><br/>Images of Agra the Taj Mahal shrines palaces schools streets tombs Sikri Delhi Tughlagabad Lahore camel caravans Peshawar bazaars Khyber Pass Kashmir – to list everything in this far-reaching journey would be a disservice to the reader. Comprised mostly of landscapes and images of the Indian people some elements of the personal do crop up here and there: Our author is featured in only one photograph – he sits on horseback with traveling companions also on horseback and this 2” x 3” image is labeled “Self / Lottery Henry / Tommy Alice / The Wallaby” ostensibly identifying his friends and their horses; Henry will appear again tiny against a landscape labeled “The End Pavillion Chasma Shahi Henry looking for bear.” Where it is light on the candid it remains a diligent record – every image is identified and all are crisp and clear studiously photographed. A pleasing and unique volume. hardcover books
