Subject
India
Description
Though this set of title pages and frontispiece (somewhat marred by water damage to the pages), offer different views of a mosque and a temple more to marvel at the architecture instead of the natural surroundings or a focus on the people. To see the intricacy of steel plate engravings and witness the artistry of an engraving, click on the image itself and use the magnifying glass to look at the representation of shading and a variety of types of landscape scenery.
