The large green album in the Department of Design, &c., in the Victoria and Albert Museum, South Kensington (D. 1163–1210 of 1903), contains creditable examples of eighteenth-century work. The more noticeable pictures are:—D. 1170, a female musician, with another figure, in clear, bright atmosphere; D. 1185, a fine elephant with its *mahout*, or driver, in Chinese ink; D. 1204, a large picture 12 inches by 8, of a huge elephant, with a keeper, holding a spear, standing in front; no colour except the gold rings on the tusks; and D. 1205, an aged emperor (? Shāh Ālam) seated on a balcony overlooking a lake, signed Bahādur Singh.
