and his sons. who were for some
years in tho employ Of tho chief d
Ulwar. Tho grnndsons have now
succeeded to the sons. however, and
in their hands tho art is likoly TO
become a moro trade. In India q
man OF real genius develops MI art
from some hints no receives from

fear Of destroying his monopoly
teaches only tho mombers OF his own
family. who may or may not share
his skill, and thus In tho course OF Q
generation or two nothing remains
but shadow or parody Of perhaps
an exquisite production.
III tho Ulwar book bindings the
Ornament is somewhat litter the old
Groller style. In which tho tolors arc
painted on tho boards and arc not
inlsid. In most Of the designs the
pattern is produced by tho uso Of
brass blocks. Tho colors are then
painted on with tho brush. Some
times tho Uiwar artist colors tho
whole OF the ground. and ut others
only part OF 1t, so as to produce very
different effects BY thd use of tho
same blocks. Tho effect is remark
ably fino and is comparable to some
of the design work on some of tho
most beautiful productions Of tho
moro famous china manufactures.
Tho bindings are expensive, us they
are oil handmade and II great deal

made, however, with the present
artists, who ask for us much as they
can get As their work is curious
and valuable. they have, as rulo,
very little difficulty in disposing of

made for tho queen and other distin.
