Synopsis
A comprehensive collection of Mughal Natural History drawings, centred on the art of Ustad Mansur with current scientific information., A comprehensive collection of Mughal Natural History drawings, centred on the art of Ustad Mansur with current scientific information.Includes rare Mansur paintings from Russia and Tehran.Imaginary Birds, showcasing the artist's imagination beyond the representation of realism in nature.The Mughals combined their love of nature with their love and patronage of art. By Akbar's reign the master artists of his atelier were producing hundreds of paintings of birds and animals with great accuracy and suavity for manuscripts of animal fables and adventures for the Emperor. Natural history drawing reached its highest point during the reign of Akbar's son Jahangir whose atelier most notably illustrated the Baburnama, Jahangir's great grandfather's treatises celebrated as the first systematic account of Indian flora and fauna. Among the various master artists of Akbar and Jahangir's ateliers, none are more important than Ustad Mansur who painted many images of rare and unusual birds, animals, and flowers for Jahangir. Mughal Natural History Drawings and Ustad Mansur presents these images with their correct scientific identification and other relevant details.

    Item arrived as stated in used but good condition. It was a great price for used. A new copy would have cost a lot more. It was shipped out fast and arrived in secure envelope. Seller did a great job with this entire transaction. I’m very happy with seller and would order from them again. Thank you seller, great job. A+. JL

    There was a mixup during packaging where a paperback copy was picked and shipped for a hard cover copy that was ordered. I asked the seller about it and they honestly replied that the mistake was on their end. A full refund for the item was sent immediately and I will not hesitate to order more from ZBK. Very responsive and they stand behind their items and make good on any issues.

    The Arts & Crafts Price Guide is an invaluable reference for anyone interested in Gustav Stickley, Roycroft, L&JG Stickley, and other Arts & Crafts furniture makers. The guide arrived quickly, exactly as described, and was packaged with care. Excellent communication from the seller and a smooth transaction from start to finish. Highly recommend both the guide and this seller!
