Ravenshaw 1860
(You can replace or add to this, from the site itself) Monuments, Landscapes and Romance in Popular Indian Imagery by Kajri Jain looks at one aspect of the representation of monuments in Indian popular images (particularly calendar art): their use as a backdrop for romantic couples.

It explores how such images draw on several different kinds of pictorial practice and frames of viewing: colonial representations of monuments and landscapes, the backgrounds in depictions of deities, and the treatment of the conjugal couple in Bombay commercial cinema.
