Soft cover. Zustand: New. 2nd Edition. The main theme of this book is the history of Buddhist Art in Gandhara from a chronological and aesthetic, not from an iconographic, point of view. The Gandhara School passed through its adolescence and maturity under the Kushans, who overthrew the Parthians in circa A.D. 64, and that it came to an abrupt end in the reign of Vasudeva I, when the Buddhist monasteries throughout the North-West were overrun and reduced to ruins. In this book, the author tells us about the influences of Gandhara Art, its association to the early school of Central India, beginning of Gandhara Art in the Saka period, the renaissance of Hellenistic art under the Parthians and the period of maturity of Gandhara Art.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: New. 1st Edition. The Bagh caves along with Ajanta are the most treasured illumination of ancient Indian art. From the school which these paintings represent was the source and fountain head from which of the art of Asia drew its inspiration, and no one can study their rhythmic composition their instinctive beauty of line, the majestic grace of their figures, and the boundless wealth of their decorative imagery without realizing what a far reaching influence they exerted on the art, not of Indian alone and her colonies, but of every other country to which the religion of the Buddha penetrated. The Caves of Bagh have already been made known to the world by three descriptive articles, the first by Lieutenant Dangerfield, the second by Dr. E. Impany and the third by Colonel C.E. Luard in the Indian Antiquity. The Caves of Bagh so called from the neighboring village of the name are situated among the southern slopes of the Vindhya hills in what is now the Amjhera district of the Gwalior state. The cliff side in which they are excavated rises some 150 feet above the Bagh river and is remarkable as being the only out crop of sandstone in an otherwise basaltic region. Above the sandstone, however is superimposed a deep band of claystone and it is probably to the excessive weight of this band, and to the moisture percolating from it that most of the damage in the caves is due.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Intensive and systematic archaeological investigations in India commenced with the appointment of General Alexander Cunningham as Director General of Archaeology in the year 1862. With the appointment of John Marshall as Director General of Archaeology in 1902 and the active support of the enthusiastic Viceroy Lord Curzon the situation was bound to change. Marshall taking the cue from a lamenting letter in the Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society launched the publication of an "Annual" embodying the activities of the Archaeological Survey, so that nobody need wait for the research to be completed to bring out a report. Instead, yearly publication of progress of research was made known to the public so that others also may pursue their own line by research. Thus the scope of these Annual reports of the Archaeological Survey of India in Marshall's own words "is to be coexistive with the current archaeological operation, the contents will relate first and principally conservation, secondly, to exploration and research and lastly epigraphy. Any fear that the Archaeological Survey of India will relegate to the background the activities other than conservation is dispelled by Marshall by upholding Curzon's ideals viz. "exploration and study of purely Indian remains in the probing of archaic mounds in the excavation of old Indian cities and in the copying and reading of ancient inscriptions." Thus the survey is to dig and discover, classify reproduce and describe the copy and decipher cherish and conserve. This ideal was carried out and reported in his annual reports by Marshall. The annual report is divided into three main headings namely (1) Conservation of ancient monuments and remains (2) Exploration and research (3) Epigraphy. Thus the section on Conservation includes 'a brief summary of the maintenance work carried out to the various monuments in different regions of the country besides special informative and detailed articles on the repair and conservation of specific monuments. Likewise Exploration and Excavation part would deal in general the work executed in the various parts of the country. Apart from this specific articles on topics of interest are included. Epigraphy is also treated in a similar manner. The Annual Reports are profusely illustrated with drawings plans, elevations and sections besides photographs. Notes on administrative matters and performances are included. The series beginning from 1902 runs through 1937 with unremitting regularity excepting for four years 1930 1934. All the reports are edited by the then serving Director General. However, the combined Report for 1930-34 was edited by Mr. Fabri, a specialist in Indology. True to the high ideas and ideals set forth in the first issue the 'Annual' has been an indispensable tool for any researcher be a conservator, excavator or epigraphist or anyone interested in Indian culture. For the subjects covered, the articles published and evidence interpreted are so vast, varied, informative and educative that no scholar can afford to ignore. The illustrations-drawings and photographs-are unique in quality and quantity. They are not available any more. Two indices-one by Kaye (for 1902-16 issues) and the other by Hargreaves, covering up to 1929, bound together are a valuable additions. The present reissue of these Annual Reports of the Archaeological Survey of India by Messrs Swati Publications, with the kind permission of the Government of India is really a boon to Indologists. Bound in attractive and uniform bindings these Reports would be a pride possession.

First edition, 3 vols., folio (330 x 255 mm), xxvii, [1], 364; xii, [2], 365-716; xi, [1]pp., 164 plates (including folding plans, illustrations after photographs), 2 folding maps to rear pocket of volume 1 (plus an additional large folding map of the region from unrelated work), further smaller illustrations in-text, original publishers brown buckram, gilt figure to upper cover of all 3 volumes, spines lettered in gilt, a very nice set. An excellent set of this pioneering work on Mohenjo-Daro (meaning 'Valley of the Dead Men'), the largest settlement of the Indus Valley Civilisation. Located in Sindh, Pakistan, it is one of the earliest known large cities, founded in the 26th century BCE. Marshall's "announcement in 1924 that he had there found a new civilization of the third millennium marked an epoch in modern discovery; the so-called Indus valley civilization is now recognized as the most extensive civilization of the preclassical world. His mass excavation of large areas at Mohenjo-daro, for example, published in 1931, showed a great city, dating from before and after 2000 bc, planned and drained on a vast scale and in a regimented fashion, with wide thoroughfares and closely built houses and workshops. Detail, and often important detail, was lost; but, like Schliemann before him, Marshall got to the heart of the matter and gave what was needed first in the current state of knowledge, namely the general shape, the sketch, of a hitherto unknown civilization. He was a pioneer of a high order." (ODNB).
