Delhi Dilemma. BAILEY, David.

First edition, inscribed by the artist on the half-title of vol. I, "For Peter & Pauline, Love, DB, 2012", and signed on the half-title of vol. II. In his introduction, historian William Dalrymple writes, "Bailey observes but never judges; he stalks the streets and catches the instant moment with all the skill and effortless immediacy of a cat's perfect four-paws landing." These two large volumes reproduce Bailey's photographs of Delhi, showcasing his artistic range through intimate portraits, close-ups of objects found on the street, and documents of murals and other original artworks. 2 vols, folio. Colour illustrations after photographs by Bailey throughout. With publisher's card sleeve. Original pink and green cloth, lettering to spine and front boards in black, endpapers green and pink. Sleeve lightly creased with one short closed tear to head, else fine.
