This exhibition brings together for the first time in Delhi 73 aquatints of the 18th c. by Thomas and William Daniell mirrored by 73 contemporary photographs by Antonio Martinelli. By tracing the changes that the passage of time has brought on Indian architectural masterpieces and natural wonders, this exhibition draws attention to universal concepts of architectural heritage and environmental conservation. This unique combination of visual materials provides a timeless graphic account of two hundred years of Indian history. The exhibition is also under patronage of UNESCO.
