The sacred city of the Hindus: an account of Benares in ancient and modern times
Sherring's 1868 The Sacred City of the Hindus is a travel and descriptive account of Benares, written by Matthew A. Sherring for Victorian readers in Britain. Its engraved views show riverside ghats, temple spires and stone buildings along the Ganges, with the scenes rotated on the page, so a designer might draw on their dense stepped architecture and layered skyline.
