‎CAMPBELL, A. Claude‎

‎Glimpses of Bengal. A Comprehensive, Archaeological, Biographical, and Pictorial History of Bengal, Behar and Orissa and Present day Bangladeh (2 Volumes - Complete Set)‎

‎2 folios vol. (43 x 34 cm), hardcover under dustjacket and plastic jacket, Sundeep Prakashan, New Delhi, 2003, 341 pp.‎

‎Reissue of the 1907 edition. A fabulous compilation of life and times of Bengal 100 and more years ago. Over 115 histories and biographies with illustrations, make this journey into the past a very special one. This is the first representation of the most characteristic architectural and natural beauty of Bengal. Not just beautiful words, painted pictures, but actual photographs have been taken by the author himself. In the early nineteenth century this was a stupendous task of intellectual and physical labour. Thanks to this mammoth effort of A. Claude Campbell, we have available to us today an authentic, personally vouched and researched documentation of a very important era in the history of India. Every spot described was personally visited by the author. Every Indian aristocrat mentioned in this compilation was actually visited and interviewed by the author, although it has to be mentioned that historical facts mentioned and stories related are as told to the author by the personages themselves and may leave much scope for argument. Fairly good condition (plastic jackets has some tears and lacks, hardcover a bit rubbed or stamped, good inner condition).‎
