This book, the first of three, offers an anthology of Western
descriptions of Islamic religious buildings of Spain, Turkey, India
and Persia, mostly from the seventeenth to early twentieth
centuries, taken from books and ambassadorial reports. As travel
became easier and cheaper, thanks to viable roads, steamships,
hotels and railways, tourist numbers increased, museums accumulated
eastern treasures, illustrated journals proliferated, and
photography provided accurate data. The second volume covers some
of the religious architecture of Syria, Egypt and North Africa,
while the third deals with Islamic palaces around the
Mediterranean. All three deal with the impact of Western trade,
taste and imports on the East, and examine the encroachment of
westernised modernism, judged responsible for the degradation of
Islamic styles.
