NK1476.V54 1986Description
During the reign of the fifth Mughal emperor of India, Shah Jahan (r.1682-56), a remarkable decorative pattern was established. This book uses the form of the traditional Mughal album but its purpose is now essentially practical. It can be taken on its own merits as a book to be enjoyed, but as also clearly intended to be a pattern book for craftsmen and clients.Collection
