Description (What the record is about)
-
Preserved as an album. Total of 32 'charbas' which have been mounted on album leaves in patterns of 6 in accordance with the 'ragamala' subjects that they illustrate. The mounting was probably done by Johnson. To complete the 'ragamala' there should have been another 4 pictures, but these were already missing at the time when the 1830 catalogue was made and were perhaps never present. Rebound in modern red leather in 1969.
