Ajanta: The Colour and Monochrome Reproductions of the Ajanta Frescoes Based on Photography v1.c3.1

v1.c3.1

STUDENTS of Art have already been familiarized with the paintings of Ajanta, first through the excellent copies made by Major R. Gill in earlier days (1844-63), and again through those executed by Mr. John Griffiths and Lady Herringham more recently, and published in splendid volumes—by the former in *The Paintings in the Buddhist Cave Temples of Ajanta*, and by the latter in *The Ajanta Frescoes*. These copies have proved of inestimable value in giving the world a general idea of the paintings, and, being accompanied by most carefully written essays on the history and artistic import of the frescoes, these admirable volumes will long be studied with advantage by every one interested in Indian Art.
