Traces of India investigates the roles played by representations of Indian architecture (primarily photographs but also prints and book illustrations) made between the late eighteenth century and the present day. Beyond the apparent purposes of these images as picturesque views, records of an architectural past, political memorials, travel mementos, textbook vignettes, deeper considerations influenced the way their makers worked, selecting, framing, composing, and populating their representations of these monuments. These images remain enduring records of minds as well as monuments.
This book is an investigation of that deeper visual culture, showing us how ‘simple’ images of buildings are in fact complex artifacts that reveal the ways their makers think.ISBN:9788188204144
