Indeed, they are a major resource for lay-researchers lacking the privilege of travel.

That's where I saw the illustrations of birds from South India and made the connection with my mica paintings. This site has a collection of fabulous books which are no longer available or in print. <br />Ever,<br />Shreedevi Nair-Pal<br />Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09319527432529831829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126865061920461436.post-81566854492037605622016-04-15T08:01:34.768+05:302016-04-15T08:01:34.768+05:30I am quite an irregular blogger but thank you for ...I am quite an irregular blogger but thank you for the notes. I have seen several samples but if you would like to share your pictures here, I could put them up but for a wider impact I would recommend contributing it to Wikimedia Commons - commons.wikimedia.org (I suppose they are old pictures past their copyright).Shyamal L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14523054793854154400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126865061920461436.post-47829581171130118702016-04-15T01:01:12.742+05:302016-04-15T01:01:12.742+05:30Hi,

I have about 14 Tiruchirapalli mica paintings of birds, some of them similar to the pictures you have given here. If interested I will certainly send you pictures of my mica paintings. The other alternative is to go the Victoria and Albert Museum's website and go to their 'collections online' where many such paintings have been photographed and put on the site. <br />With warm wishes,<br />Dr. Shreedevi Nair Pal Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09319527432529831829noreply@blogger.com
