Notes:
"The most lavish of the Oriental illuminated books was 'Sakoontala', printed and published by Austin in 1855. The borders on ordinary pages are printed in four colours; there is a title-page, at the end of the Introduction, of extraordinary richness, and numerous other decorations and borders printed in colours. The decoration was drawn, from manuscripts in the British Museum, by T. Sulman, Jun., and engraved by George Measom"--Cf. McLean.
