(H/B) PAINTINGS OF THE RAZMNAMA
Nearly fifty years ago, during a year-long London visit, I wrote an article for Lalit Kala on manuscript painting at Agra in circa 1605. It included remarks about the Birla Razmnama. Alas, the article was never printed. While being taken to the Post Office by Underground, my small suitcase opened accidentally and the sole copy of the typed article toppled out.
