Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. The Bagh caves along with Ajanta are the most treasured illumination of ancient Indian art. From the school which these paintings represent was the source and fountain head from which of the art of Asia drew its inspiration, and no one can study their rhythmic composition their instinctive beauty of line, the majestic grace of their figures, and the boundless wealth of their decorative imagery without realizing what a far reaching influence they exerted on the art, not of Indian alone and her colonies, but of every other country to which the religion of the Buddha penetrated. The Caves of Bagh have already been made known to the world by three descriptive articles, the first by Lieutenant Dangerfield, the second by Dr. E. Impany and the third by Colonel C.E. Luard in the Indian Antiquity. The Caves of Bagh so called from the neighboring village of the name are situated among the southern slopes of the Vindhya hills in what is now the Amjhera district of the Gwalior state. The cliff side in which they are excavated rises some 150 feet above the Bagh river and is remarkable as being the only out crop of sandstone in an otherwise basaltic region. Above the sandstone, however is superimposed a deep band of claystone and it is probably to the excessive weight of this band, and to the moisture percolating from it that most of the damage in the caves is due.

"I have found this species of Jay breeding in the State of Maine, where many individuals belonging to it reside the whole year, and where in fact so many as fifteen or twenty may be seen in the course of a day by a diligent person anxious to procure them. In the winter, their numbers are constantly augmented by those which repair to that country from places farther north. They advance to the southward as far as the upper parts of the State of New York. Now, to my eye, the Canada Jay is as elegant in its movements, whether perched or on wing, as any other of our Jays, although its apparel is certainly very homely. It is joyous and lively at all times, even when, pushed by extreme hunger, it approaches the lonely camp of the traveller, with the hope of obtaining a share, however small, of his perhaps scanty fare.
