Autorenporträt
J.P. Losty was for many years curator of Indian visual materials in the British Library in London. He has published extensively on Indian paintings and manuscripts. His latest books include Indian Paintings of the British Period in the Jagdish and Kamla Museum of Indian Art, Hyderabad, 2016, and A Mystical Realm of Love: Pahari Paintings from the Eva and Konrad Seitz Collection, London, 2017. John Keay has been writing about India for over forty years. His India: A History (2000, 2010) is the standard narrative account of South Asia's past, while India Discovered (1981 and still in print) has inspired a generation of research into the nineteenth-century reconstruction of India's classical past. Also still in print is his The Honourable Company (1991), a sweeping history of the British East India Company. His latest work is an intriguing biographical quest - The Tartan Turban: In Search of Alexander Gardner. He lives in Scotland.
