Reviews

• ‘Meticulously researched, beautifully produced and lavishly illustrated, Lahore: Illustrated Views if the 19th Century is a joy to delve into, savour and linger over late into the small hours of the night. It is a must for anyone interested in the history of the city, especially its architectural history, and is a vivid reminder of the glory that was Lahore.' Kaleem Omar, The News , 17 December 1991.

• ‘Aijazuddin's splendid book offers us tantalizing glimpses of Lahore as it was in the 19th century.' M. Salim-ur-rehman, The Friday Times , 2 January 1992.

• ‘A wealth of scholarship accompanied the plates. Beautiful in themselves, they are enriched by the historical annotation provided by the text. Indeed even to an old Lahori conversant with the lore and legend which surrounds so many of these monuments, the text reveals so much more and in a style makes one wish that the history books forced on him in his learning years had been so crusty and unpalatable.' Krishen Khanna, famous Indian artist, Indian Review of Books , 1991.
