Shivaji and His Times c18.6

c18.6

C. The Italian traveller Manucci in 1706 presented to the Venetian Senate a volume of 56 portraits drawn for him by Mir Muhammad, an artist in the household of Shah Alam, before 1688. This volume (now in Paris) contains a portrait of Shivaji (No. 39 in Blochet's list,) which Mr. Irvine has reproduced by photography in his edition of the Storia do Mogor, Vol. III., picture No. XXXV. Earlier and less faithful woodcuts of it are to be found in Langles' Monuments Anciens et Modernes (Paris 1821) and De Jacigny and Raymond's Inde (Paris, 1845.)
