▪︎Book of Poems for her Children.
Date: 1841–1844
Maker: Mary Hibbs Snyder (North American, 1811–1844)
Medium: Watercolor and pen and ink.
• From the source: The introductory inscription in each of these handmade books notes that Snyder completed them “during her last sickness and in great suffering.” Perhaps hoping to leave for her children a legacy of beloved nursery rhymes, favorite pastimes, and moral instruction, Snyder compiled and illustrated this collection of well-known verses and authored some verses of her own. In one of the books here, children enjoy outdoor games, while in the other they serve as exemplars of industry and good manners.
My God, he says, kindly. What a nightmare you must be.

~Illustration from a Bhagavata Purana Series, Book 10: Battle Between Balarama and Jarasandha. ca. 1760–65 Opaque watercolor and gold on paper Culture: Indian Period: Mughal Period (1526-1857)
The Bhagavata Purana, “The Ancient Story of God,” a chronicle of Vishnu, was a major subject of Indian miniature painting. Books 10 and 11, which describe the career on earth of Vishnu’s eighth incarnation, Krishna, were frequently illustrated. This large illustration comes from such a series created in the Punjab Hills state of Basohli during the third quarter of the eighteenth century. It depicts a battle between Balarama, Krishna’s older brother, and Jarasandha that took place after Krishna had abducted his future principal wife, Rukmini, on her wedding day. The opposing sides face each other while arrows fly across the intervening space. In the poses of the figures and in the attention to detail the image shows a close relationship to the Mughal style of painting practiced in Guler, another of the Punjab Hills states. The Mughal style ultimately eclipsed the earlier Basohli style.
