Summary, etc This Volume brings together the scholarly attention of different specialists on the history of art, visual culture, furniture, carpets and textiles, and paintings of the Rashtrapati Bhavan. Their chapters provide an illuminating political and cultural history of the interior designed by sir Edwin Lutyens to be the house for the British viceroy. The book also provides a detailed catalogue of select artwork kept in the house . Rich illustrations reveal how the interiors stand now, and they are contrasted with archival Photographs that show how the house has evolved over the past 90 years. The Book also contains previously unpublished plans and sketches for the decor of the interiors of the house some of which date back to as early as 1914-these provide a rare glimpse into how it was originally intended.While the architecture of the actual edifice of the Rashtrapati Bhavan may be Lutyens?s most enduring legacy, the interiors of the building preserve a much more versatile history. This Volume traces how Lutyens achieved a stylish interior that accommodated the tastes and needs if various British aristocratic residents, politicians and bureaucrats, but equally had to impress an Indian public-for which, it needed also to incorporate a vocabulary of Indian design ornament. This volume is one in a series that documents different aspects of the rich cultural , social and historical legacy of the Rashtrapati Bhavan as a national institution.
