The book contains a frontispiece, title page, table of contents, list of illustrations, introduction, six chapters, photographic explanations, an index, a map of Delhi and 29 photographs, all of which are unbound from the cover. While textual pages of the book and the map still accompany the cover, the photographs, along with their secondary supports, have been individually mounted on CCA mounts, except for photographs PH1980:0204:004:001 - PH1980:0204:004:004 which are all mounted on the same secondary support and panorama PH1980:0204:013:001-002 which is mounted on two secondary supports.
