The book is a veritable amalgam of exquisite drawings, plans, and historic photographs of Delhi, which document the city’s monuments and structures, and record for the first time the growth of a topographical school of artists. All in all, it is an engaging narrative of Delhi’s journey from Red Fort (1638) to Raisina Hill (1911 and beyond).
