A Dictionary, Hindustani and English, with a Copious Index
Author: J. Shakespear
Publisher: London
Publication date: many reprints
Number of pages: 1202

Format / Quality: djvu
Size: 60 MB
Still one of the best dictionaries of the language, however you may call it. It includes the common register for Hindi-Hindavi-Urdu-Hindustani as well as many high register Sanskrit and Persian words. Also, it is rich in words pertaining to material culture.

Once you get over the shock of stains on the first few pages, the quality is decent. It is constantly reprinted in India and available there for a fraction of the UK price (the other one, of even more repute, is by Platts, but I couldn't find that one as a djvu yet).

The lady on the image is Zeenat Mahal, the wife of the last Mughal emperor Bahadur Shah. You can also find her images as a young woman on the internet, but the magnificent words from Marguerite Duras fit here:
"Tout le monde dit que vous étiez belle lorsque vous étiez jeune, je suis venu pour vous dire que pour moi je vous trouve plus belle maintenant que lorsque vous étiez jeune, j'aimais moins votre visage de jeune femme que celui que vous avez maintenant, dévasté. "

Remarks: "Everyone says that you were beautiful when you were young. I came here to tell you that as for me, I find you more beautiful now than when you were young, I liked your face as a young woman less than the one that you have now -- the destroyed face."
