Description

From the Great Pyramids to the Taj Mahal, the Middle east and India have lured Westerners to travel and have inspired their architecture, literature, music and fashion. This book pursues the richest era of this fascination - the mid to late 19th century, when American and European artists travelled and painted throughout the Holy Land and India.
