"Architecture of Ahmedabad, the capital of Goozerat" is a title page illustration from the 1866 book "Architectural Notes on the Buildings of Ahmedabad and the Province of Goozerat, photographed by Colonel Biggs, R.E., with historical and descriptive notes by Theodore C. Hope" by James Fergusson. The image features a woodcut illustration of the city, which was originally drawn by Theodore C. Hope. The page itself contains several inscriptions, which suggest that this may be a personal copy of the book. This work is an example of Victorian-era architectural illustration and is a significant contribution to the documentation of historic buildings in India.
