A History of Fine Art in India and Ceylon, from the Earliest Times to the Present Day c15.s5.33

B. M. Add. 22,363 is a collection of twenty-eight rather large pictures 'in fine Indian style of the eighteenth century, with illuminated borders'. Most of the pictures represent incidents of Eastern tales, passages in the life of Krishna, or some of the *Rāginī* figures. But the best things in the book are the brown hawk on the obverse, and the two camels, on the reverse, of fol. 28, which are not specially Hindu, and may date from the seventeenth century. The camels are reproduced in Fig. 256 in Chapter XIV. The other collections of eighteenth-century Hindu paintings in the British Museum do not merit special notice.
