The great French collection in the Bibliothèque Nationale includes an illustrated copy of the 'Romance of Kāmrūp' (Suppl. Pers. No. 929) adorned with sixty Indian miniatures described as being finely executed and well preserved. Yet the date is a.h. 1250 = a.d. 1834–5. Possibly the pictures may be copies of older originals. A manuscript in one of the exhibition cases at the British Museum has a good portrait of Ranjīt Singh, who died in 1839.
