An Illustrated Selection of the Principal Exhibits of the Loan

Exhibition of Antiques, Coronation Durbar, 1911. (The Archaeological Survey of India. Rs. 20 or 30s.)—Eastern Malatestas and Sforzas painted with almost the subtle refinement of the early Florentine Renaissance throng this fascinating catalogue of Indian pictorial art. " Lal Kaur," by an unknown hand, and "Husaini Begam" are almost worthy to rank with " Beatrice d'Este " or the portraits of Antonello di Messina. A special word must be said for the excellent little notes, chiefly bio- graphical, which accompany each illustration.
