Descrizione

About The Book: The city of Benares, known for its Hindu learning and superstition, has intrigued European travelers for centuries. Notable descriptions by Taver­nier and Heber offer glimpses of Benares in the past. However, limited artistic representation exists, and these sketches aim to fill the void. While not professional works of art, they faithfully depict the city's essence, providing a unique view of its vibrant culture. Created over ten years of residence in Benares, these sketches, along with a map, were intended to accompany a literary project. Despite potential minor inaccuracies, these illustrations offer valuable insights into Benares' antiquity, history, and population. The book features 32 black and white illustrations and required over a decade to gather the photographs and sketches for its inclusion.
