In John Piper’s words “The illustrations, to use musical analogies, are variations, rhapsodies or inventions on sculpture and paintings in Indian temples of the Golden Age from the V1th century to the X111th. They are not intended to be representational of the form or colour of the works themselves, but are affected by the spirit and purpose of them, and often by particular poses” The text is taken from the Sanskrit, the Telugu, the Kannada and the Assamese. The text has been designed and printed by Will Carter at the Rampant Lions Press on Arches Velin paper and the illustrations have been printed by Adrian Lack at the Senecio Press. The book is bound in quarter black Niger morocco with spine title label, with sides of pure undyed Tussah silk carried out by Alfred Brazier and John Mitchell of Fine Binding. 1977 Limited ed. of 200 numbered copies, signed by the illustrator and translator.
