This important new study describes the role of bazaar art amongst the Sikh people and analyzes the posters that are produced today. McLeod first presents a historical survey of all Punjabi art from its beginnings up to the present day. He then investigates the modern bazaar print, describing its origins and discussing the various features that are characteristic to it. The book includes a series of 54 miniature posters actually purchased in the bazaars of New Delhi, which tell the story of Sikh history as popularly conceived.
