About This Item
(Cape Town: privately published, 1998) 0620231688. Signed on the title page by the author James Walton. An edition limited to 200 copies. 4to; laminated pictorial boards; pp. vi + 47; photographs; line drawings. Fine condition. "During the years 1943 and 1944 I was stationed at Mhow in Central India and this afforded me ample opportunity to visit and record the activities of several of the depressed classes living in the surrounding area, which was formerly the kingdom of Malwa. From the 8th century onwards Malwa was under the rule of the Paramara kings but in the beginning of the 13th century they were overthrown by the Musalmans, who commenced to establish themselves in the splendid Vindlyan City of Mandu. ... The following account of some of the depressed classes of Malwa was written largely in 1944 and presents only the conditions at that time. No attempt has been made to bring it up-to-date. All the photographs were taken by James Walton with a Box Brownie camera and all drawings were made at the same time." .
