Chinese characters at right of most images, outside of borders.
According to Mildred Agnes (Bell) Archer and William George Archer, art historians and writers, best known for their interest in Indian Miniatures and Anglo Indian paintings, Chinese painting can be identified as white paint on bark and a pale blue background to white flowers, which the Indians never did.
According to Dunthorne: "Copied from Chinese drawings, with typical Chinese rocks, etc. in the background; frequently with pale bue sky, slight landscape backgrounds and birds, butterflies, insects, or animals [sometimes] introduced"--P. 182.
According to Dunthorne there are two parts: Chinese (part I) and European (part II).
According to Dunthorne several plates resemble those of Jacques de Sève, Johann Wilhelm Weinmann, and Christoph Jacob Trew.
