"The purpose of this publication is to place before students interested in Eastern art reproductions of select specimens from among the great collections of ancient Buddhist paintings which in the course of my second Central Asian journey carried out in 1906-08 under the orders of the Government of India I had the good fortune to recover from a walled-up chapel at the Caves of the Thousand Buddas near Tun-Huang".
