Such a fine initiative. It gives you a visual of Dhaka (Dacca back then) under the British rule. I hope the publisher (national museum) will publish more books like this.

কেমন ছিলো সেকালের ঢাকা? ছবির মাধ্যমে বেশ ভালো একটা ধারণাই পাওয়ায় যাবে সেসময়টার ।
ঢাকায় ক্যামেরা প্রথম জনপ্রিয় হয় নওয়াবদের হাত ধরে৷ তাই সে সময়ের আলোকচিত্রে মূলত নওয়াবদের তৈরি বিভিন্ন স্থাপত্যই স্থান পেয়েছে বেশি৷
বেশ ভালো একটা সংগ্রহই বলা যায় বইটাকে৷
