@DalrympleWill From @V_and_A c1760 painting by MY FAVOURITE #Pahari ARTIST #Nainsukh of #Guler #Basohli & #Jammu region.
All of his & family's works are classics like this "Raja Balwant Singh's favourite Elephant with Attendants"

@DalrympleWill Another hard to believe #ThomasDaniell litho of 1795 from @britishlibrary, #FerozShahKotla #Delhi. Why do these monuments look so different now? @intachwalks or @INTACHIndia?
