Behind the Architect’s Façade photo

Meet this curious bust of Sir Edwin Lutyens. It represents both the architect in amusing caricature and one of his famous buildings, the Viceroy's House in New Delhi (now Rashtrpati Bhavan). This gallery visit is part of 'Comedy in the V&A Collections: A Series of Gallery Talks'.
