A single shade does not make the picture complete. Therefore, this book has used both the Indian and the British sources so that the picture does not look one-sided. Indeed, Lord Curzon was the favorite viceroy of the Indian cartoonist. This book constitutes a valuable record for students and researchers of the history and relationship between India and England, as well as for connoisseurs of the cartoon art.”
