About this title

From Library Journal:

When the Cleveland Museum of Art began collecting Indian manuscripts in 1925, it was one of the first U.S. museums to specialize in this area. This well-researched text not only documents their distinguished holdings, but also offers an informative overview of the periods represented, which include the Jain, early Rajput, Mughal, Rajasthani, central Indian, and Pahari schools. The historical context is provided for 139 works that date from 1280 to 1840. Each work is described, analyzed, and reproduced. The reproductions, while adequate, are surprisingly bland for a publication of this price, inadequately conveying the clarity and vividness of the originals. For specialized collections.
