OCCIDENTALISM. Islamic Art in the 19th Century (The Nasser D. Khalili Collection of Islamic Art, VOL XXIII) (The ^ANasser D. Khalili Collection of Islamic Art) - Hardcover
This book is a comprehensive survey of Islamic arts from the nineteenth century, which explores the contrast between those items produced in traditional taste and those bearing witness to the influence of Europe.

Stephen Vernoit, The Nasser D. Khalili Fellow in Islamic Art, St Antony's College, Oxford.
Review:
`The reader will be impressed by the large full colour illustrations on nearly every two pages. The layout is superb and makes also the smaller texts of the descriptions, always directly besides the objects, very pleasant to read. These descriptions are in fact little histories in themselves,
richly interweaving anecdotes and couleur locale with all factual information even an expert could wish.'
Ch. Huygens, Bibliotheca Orientalis LVI No.5/6
