Colour photographic illustrations, 96pp, glossary, dustjacket, quarto. "This book discovers the old areas of Calcutta, where heritage houses and history fill every crowded lane and secret courtyard. Languishing in another time and place, at the end of narrow lanes and behind untidy shop-fronts, Calcutta's rich heritage waits to be discovered. The Great Houses of Calcutta are an important but forgotten part of Calcutta's architectural history. While much has been written and photographed on the British colonial architecture and lifestyle, very little has been done on the indigenous equivalent. By focussing on Calcutta's heritage mansions and palaces, this book makes an important contribution to the architectural history of both Calcutta and India." Publisher's description.
