Dear Friends,

If anyone is able to help me I'd appreciate it. I'm trying to find a copy of this book by A.L. Dallapiccola:

South Indian Paintings: a catalogue of the British Museum Collection, London 2010

I am specifically interested in the comments of acrobats performing on a perilous structure said to be located on p. 182.

The closest copy to me is in Tokyo, at the Diet's library, which is a journey unable to be made at this time. It's not urgent. More a curiosity. Nonetheless, it is part of an ongoing project. If you do happen to find yourself serendipitously staring at it in the book shelf of your local library, I would appreciate a scan/clear photograph of the relevant image and description

Thank you.


All the best,

パトリック マッカートニー
