A good read: Jewels of the Nizams
Posted by Thomas on December 9, 2018, 12:37 am
A few weeks ago, I was looking for a not-too-expensive copy of Jewels of the Nizams, a 2001 publication about the considerable collection of jewels formerly belonged to the Nizams of Hyderabad and their families, a large portion of which was acquired by the Indian government after decades of difficult discussions.
To my great surprise, I found out that the book was available on the excellent plateform Archive.org, which regularly uploads documentation on a variety of subjects, including jewellery (many out-of-print and rare volumes are available, free of charge).
Thanks Thomas, I've gone through the online book just now, but I confess I'll have to invest in buying the hard/ paper back one when I catch myself.
Regards,
Dave.

What a fabulous find! Thank you for alerting us to this wonderful resource Thomas. I will have some very enjoyable reading tonight and in days to come.
