An interesting collection depicting Palladian style mansions. A fine example is the large and highly decorative Design for a House for His Highness the Nawab at Lucknow . Although Lucknow in Oudh was a center of strong Muslim culture the city grew rapidly under British influence with its fine gardens and flourishing industries and remained so well into the nineteenth century; “There is a dash of European architecture among the oriental buildings; travellers have likened the place to Moscow or Constantinople…” [Honoria Lawrence 1808–1854] With further views and studies: Hussein Riza Kahns Bungalow at Fyzabad, Mr. Ives’s House Beebypore and Dandpore House.
