Reviews

• ‘On this tour, there could be no better guide than F. S. Aijazuddin. Not only is he highly knowledgeable about the terrain through which we pass, not only is his scholarship impeccable and his writing lucid, his is a serendipitous journey of happy discoveries – a walk through some of the nooks and crannies of the region's history. It is this, even more than its other merits, that makes Historical Images of Pakistan such a delight to read.' Kaleem Omar, The News , 7 January 1992.

• ‘One of the complexities of Pakistan's evolution is the distortion of our history, which is considered a part of nation-building imperatives. It is therefore particularly refreshing to read a meticulously documented and sophisticated book, within the genre of art-history […] This book should be part of modern history course at educational institutions, as well as a base for a potentially exciting television series.' Omar Noman, The Nation , 17 January 1992.

• ‘The prints and images presented here constitute an invaluable panorama of the four provinces of Pakistan they appeared during the nineteenth and early twentieth century. That is why this book should be looked, read and kept in a place where others too can glance at it.' Khaled Ahmed, The Frontier Post , January 1992.
