India in the 1960s.
A photographer and practicing architect, Wim Swaan illustrated 18 books on the art and architecture of cultures worldwide. These photographs belonged to the book project "Mughul India: Delhi, Agra and Fatehpur Sikri."
The photographs, shot on black-and-white and color film, document the cities and sites as they looked in the mid-to-late-1960s. Skillfully composed, the images are striking.
Swaan brought the eye of an architect and meticulous attention to detail to all of his projects. Friends and collaborators who observed him in the field described his artistic practice as one of tireless determination and endless patience.
Swaan traveled widely across five continents throughout his career, documenting the art and architecture of a broad range of cultures.
