Riassunto

Despite the fame of the Taj Mahal and the Red Fort of Delhi, little is known of the Mughal building techniques and building industry that produced them. This book draws on contemporary Mughal and western sources, particularly a wealth of visual material afforded by Mughal and non-Mughal paintings, to reconstruct the factors influencing building; the role, identity, and training of the people involved; the materials, tools, and techniques used; and related questions of specialization, social status, literacy, and family links.
