This album of Company School paintings is done in the style of the South Indian Trichinopoly (Tiruchirappalli) School. The album can be divided into three distinct groups of illustrations, the middle group being the largest and each with an accompanying identificatory inscription in devanagari script (sometimes transliterated) and English. Inscriptions in tamil rather than devanagari script would be more expected for South Indian works of art raising the possibility that the inscriptions were added later. The first and last groups are comparable in style to two albums of South Indian illustrations of deities in the British Museum, London (1962,1231,0.12 and 1992,0410,0.1). An album of 45 illustrations of Indian deities was sold in these Rooms 13 June 2002, lot 83.
