About the Book
This book provides an economic and ethnographic account of the tradesmen and their crafts in the Bareilly district of Rohilkhand during the 1820s. Originally published in Persian as Kitab-i-Tasavir Shishagaran Vaghairah Va Bayan-i-Alat-i-Anha ("The Book of Eleven Illustrations"), this work sheds light on the lives and practices of glassmakers and other artisans, offering rich details of their tools and craftsmanship. The book serves as a unique historical document that captures the intricacies of traditional Indian trades during the early 19th century, providing invaluable insights into the artisan culture of that time.
