Introduction and notes by W. G. Archer.
In this monograph, Mr. W. G. Archer, Keeper of the Indian Section, Victoria and Albert Museum, attempts, for the first time, a detailed reconstruction of this important school. He dis-cusses its origins in earlier painting in the Punjab Hills, the role played by its patron, Raja Sansar Chand, and the social and religious influences which brought about its exalted treat-ment of romance. In Mr. Ar-cher's notes, the symbolic char-acter of the imagery is explained and important new light is thrown on the basic meaning of the pictures. A series of 10 colour plates illustrate some of the finest examples of the school, 9 of which have never been re-produced in colour before.
