About the Book
With the dawn of the twentieth century and at the height of the British Empire, significant transformations began to reshape the landscape of India. This book features 550 postcards that visually document the profound changes of this period, capturing moments of growth while preserving the essence of earlier times in India’s intriguing polytemporal towns. The postcards serve as windows into a rapidly modernizing nation, revealing both the evolution of urban spaces and the enduring traces of the past that continue to define India's diverse towns.
Through these vintage postcards, readers are offered a unique glimpse into the historical journey of India, showcasing the fusion of colonial influence with indigenous traditions, and providing valuable insights into the country’s urban development during a pivotal time in its history.
