Kashi the city illustrious or Benares
Kashi the City Illustrious or Benares is a 1909 travelogue by Edwin Greaves, held by Heidelberg University Library, written for readers interested in South Asia. Its photographs show Benares as a riverside city of ghats, temple spires and crowded street life, and a designer could draw on their layered masonry, stepped waterfront and dense, hazy compositions.
