In general, there are few publications devoted to the arts of the Nepal, much less specifically to those of the Kathmandu Valley. Books on Himalayan art are, on the whole, primarily about things Tibetan. It was in large part to remedy this that Ernst and Angela Jucker decided to present their collection of painting from the Kathmandu Valley to a larger public. This catalogue is composed of scrolls, book covers and sketchbooks and is a resource for Nepalese art.
