Produktbeschreibung
A journey into the heart of 19th century India awaits. In Art-Manufactures Of India, T.N. Mukharji-an eminent figure of the British colonial period-unveils the astonishing breadth of traditional Indian art, craftsmanship, and cultural artefacts. Each page is a testament to the artistry and ingenuity that flourished under both native and colonial influences, offering a vivid exploration of textile weaving, metalwork, wood carving, and more. For academic researchers, art history students, and collectors alike, this volume is an indispensable reference for historical art studies and cultural artefacts analysis. Mukharji's meticulous observations and first-hand accounts illuminate the complex dialogue between indigenous Indian creativity and the evolving tastes of the British Raj, echoing the ideals of John Ruskin and the design sensibilities of William Morris. Every chapter draws readers into the living workshops and bazaars of colonial India, where heritage and innovation intertwined. The book's enduring significance lies in its detailed preservation of Indian craftsmanship history-a vital source for anyone fascinated by art history reference works or the enduring legacy of traditional Indian art. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today-a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. Art-Manufactures Of India is more than a chronicle; it is a cultural treasure, restored for a new generation to discover and cherish.
