Vintage Hardbound Book - India Then and Now by C.A Parkhurst

This is a 1951 hardbound edition of India Then and Now by C.A. Parkhurst, in excellent condition for its age. The pages have naturally yellowed over time, adding to its vintage charm, but there is no damage — all pages are intact, clean, and securely bound.

Beautifully illustrated and thoughtfully written, the book offers a comparative visual and narrative journey through India’s past and early modern present. With photographs, drawings, and descriptive text, Parkhurst captures the contrasts and continuities in India’s architecture, landscapes, and cultural life. A fine collectible for those interested in mid-20th century perspectives on India’s heritage, and a wonderful addition to any vintage travel or history library.
