Ajanta: The Colour and Monochrome Reproductions of the Ajanta Frescoes Based on Photography v2.c8.10

v2.c8.10

THE welcome offered to Part I of the book by readers in all parts of the world, and the highly appreciative reviews published by the press have been a great encouragement to me personally, and a source of eminent satisfaction to His Exalted Highness the Nizam's Government, who have shown very keen interest in this undertaking from the beginning, and financed it most liberally, even at a time when the retrenchment axe is at work in all places. For this policy credit is due largely to Sir Akbar Hydari, the able Finance Minister of His Exalted Highness the Nizam's Government, whose interest and solicitude for the preservation and study of the Ajanta paintings are well known.
