Seller's Description:
Like New. Size: 11x9x0; Gentleman, a British artist with a distinctive pen-and-wash style of watercolors (see, for instance, David Gentleman's Paris, St. Martin's, 1992) here covers the breadth of India from the Himalayas to the southern tip of the subcontinent to make a most appealing book. His bright and cheerful sketches, particularly those of Muhgal and Raj buildings, bring the country to life. He shows the India of the tourist, of course, but to his sketches he adds a substantial personal text describing his reactions, which swayed his moods from fascination and elation to exhaustion, panic and despair.
