These imposing buildings, including residences, mansions, lodges and government offices, represented a fascinating hybrid of Western and Eastern sensibilities as the architects sought to plant the flag of Britsh dominance on the subcontinent. This volume focuses on India's towns and cities, particularly Calcutta, Bombay and Madras, providing several hundred illustrations, sketches and photographs of the many impressive buildings and ruins that can still be seen in India today. Andreas Volwahsen's informative commentaries highlight the considerable impact of these magnificient structures while offering insight into the stories these buildings tell about their own and India's history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783791330457\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 12.0 x 9.6 x 1.3 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Prestel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51207396393264,"sku":"VarietyBook_9783791330457","price":3750.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/A1VDdEkCa0L.jpg?v=1773980730","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/products\/splendours-of-imperial-india","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
