About the Book

The Jeypore Portfolio of Architectural Details is an extraordinary compilation that showcases India’s rich ornamental and architectural heritage. Originally conceived by Samuel Swinton Jacob, this monumental series is being reissued by Studio Orientalia in six volumes, covering twelve parts of architectural artistry.

The portfolio includes:

• Vol. I – Part 1: Copings and Plinths; Part 2: Pillars – Caps and Bases

• Vol. II – Part 3: Carved Doors; Part 4: Brackets

• Vol. III – Part 5: Arches; Part 6: Balustrades

• Vol. IV – Part 7: String and Band Patterns; Part 8: Wall and Surface Decorations (never before reprinted)

• Vol. V – Part 9: Dados; Part 10: Parapets and Friezes

• Vol. VI – Part 11: Chatris and Domed Roofs; Part 12: Jharokas or Balcony Windows

Lavishly illustrated and meticulously detailed, the set captures the intricate designs, structural motifs, and artistic symbolism that define India’s architectural tradition. Parts 7 and 8, which had never been reprinted before, add exceptional value to this edition.

Praised since its first appearance in the late 19th century, the portfolio remains one of the finest collections of architectural drawings ever published, offering students, researchers, architects, and art historians a true insight into the grandeur of Indo-Saracenic and traditional Indian design.

An indispensable reference, this edition preserves the legacy of Indian ornamental art for future generations.
