Beauty in the apertures of pain

I want to say Without temper If possible without the least sense of the heroic Without even the measured ambition to speak the truth which is only another vulgarity To say I am not what I was Indeed I was nothing and now I am at least the possibility of something and this I will defend.

Jeypore Portfolio

Last week we wrapped up our Sunday series on The Golden Hind. This week we begin a new summer series focusing on some of the design books being used by artists in the Look Here! Project, which we highlighted on Friday. We begin with some plates from a set of publications being used by Milwaukee artists Nirmal Raja and Cynthia Hayes: .Jeypore Portfolio of Architectural Details, published in twelve volumes by Bernard Quaritch between 1890 and 1913.

Issued under the patronage of Maharaja Sawai Madhu Singh, the set was prepared under the supervision of Colonel Samuel Swinton Jacob, Indian Staff Corps, Engineer to the Jeypore State, and Lala Ram Bakhsh, head draftsman and teacher in the Jeypore School of Art, and was photo-lithographed by William Griggs of London, the inventor of photo-chromo-lithography. The Portfolio was intended to serve as a record the architectural heritage of the Jeypore State and the north-west region of Rajasthan. As a record, it would “rescue (such) designs from oblivion and give them new life.” The plates displayed here are from volume 9 on dados, the decorative treatment to the lower part of a wall.
