The India of palaces, towns, fortresses, landscapes and places of worship: the same sites from the same point of view, demonstrating what has or has not changed over 200 years.

The Englishmen Thomas and William Daniell, uncle and nephew, criss-crossed India between 1786 and 1794. During their long journey, they made many drawings and watercolours of the towns, palaces, fortresses, temples and natural marvels of India

Two centuries later, after a great deal of research, photographer Antonio Martinelli was able to recreate the itinerary of the Daniells, and set out to retrace their steps during four trips between 1995 and 1997.
