Description (What the record is about)
-
Total of 25 leaves from a 'ragamala' series which was apparently acquired for Johnson by Ibrahim 'Ali Khan, the town magistrate of Banaras. The series was previously bound, but is now separately mounted. One of the fly-leaves, now preserved with no.24, has a list of contents in Persian characters giving a total of 30 pictures. Numbering on the pictures themselves however suggests that originally the series may have totalled 36. At the time of the 1830 catalogue the total was 25.
