Pattern and Ornament in the Arts of India by Henry Wilson
Focuses on architecture - forts, palaces, havelis or mansions, tombs, temple and mosques of north-west India, which has a rich seam of ornamented architecture - forts and palaces of Rajput and Mughal princes, mansions of Gujarati merchants, and much more.
'Masterful … the layout and colour combinations are a delight … Wilson is an author of deep erudition who writes without a trace of pedantryHe is passionate to convince us that understanding what lies on the surface of these monuments will lead us into the soul of their patrons and creators' - The World of Interiors
Henry Wilson is known for his photographs of India, which have appeared in many magazines and books, including Benares, India Contemporary and The Floral Patterns of India, all published by Thames & Hudson. His drawings of Indian motifs inspired Osborne & Little to commission the Sariskar Collection of wallpapers from him.
