A detail from the first picture (again, a priceless digital copy bought from the British Library). Check what a lovely group of winds on the second elephant


Another detail, emblem and flag, both elephants absolutely tempting to make


Same group of elephants from a different spot, excellent panoramic

If you are wondering where our Orchha infantry set is, well, I must say that there's been a change about it. We made them upon a photograph from Gertrude Bell who said that they were from the Orchha State. We learnt later that they were from Kishangarh. So I'll add them when it's Kishangarh's turn





Next, Datia.
