Photographic album depicting the diverse places and peoples of Northern India. Includes an extensive series presenting the prominent buildings of Agra - the Taj Mahal, Tombs of I'timÄd-ud-Daulah and Sheikh Salim Chisti, and Fatehpur Sikri Palace - and Dehli - the Red Fort, Jama Masjid and Mausoleum of Sufour Jung - from various viewpoints. The album's range of portraits documents India's social diversity, featuring a mixture of Western colonists and Indian gentry, cavalry and natives. This is highlighted in two extended series of images - one at outdoor festivities and the other presenting the erection of grand buildings by Indian workers, overseen by colonists. Also included are thumbnails of Indian landscapes and, curiously, some engine blueprints and photographs.
