Ajanta frescoes : being reproductions in colour and monochrome of frescoes in some of the caves at Ajanta after copies taken in the years 1909-1911 by Lady Herringham and her assistants
This 1915 London and New York folio reproduces Ajanta cave frescoes in colour and monochrome, made from copies by Lady Herringham and her assistants in 1909 to 1911, and published for the Royal India, Pakistan, and Ceylon Society. The plates show Buddhist murals of palace interiors with columns and pavilions, seated figures, courtly crowds, and an elephant beside pillared halls. A designer could draw on their warm ochre and terracotta palette, flattened architectural framing, and layered narrative scenes with figures set among foliage.
