For lovers of old Karachi, a superb visual history of the city during the Raj. Old images and vintage text on the city and its businesses and prominent landmarks a century ago.

The second volume reprints The People of India Sindh chapter and illustrations from 1872.

Essays by some of the city's most prominent cultural historians including Dr. Hamida Khuro and Abdul Hamid Akhund, as well as Hameed Haroon of the DAWN group who published this volume. It first appeared in 2004 in connection with an extensive exhibition at the Mohatta Palace Museum in Karachi, perhaps the first to do justice to the city's rich colonial legacy.
