CONDITION USED GOOD , SIMLA , A HILL STATION IN BRITISH INDIA , PAT BARR & RAY DESMOND, HARDCOVER, 1978

Simla: A Hill Station in British India by Pat Barr and Ray Desmond brings to life the story of Simla, the summer capital of the Raj, from its early days in the 1820s to the arrival of the railway in 1903. Blending evocative text with a rich selection of 19th-century photographs, lithographs, and drawings, the book captures Simla’s dual identity—as a cool retreat from the plains and as the social and political hub of British India. A valuable record of colonial history and early photography on the subcontinent.
