Catalogue Note
"We retrace the steps of conquering armies and follow the ancient paths of nomads which have also transported the great mystical ideas of the past. Alexander the Great, Darius, Mahomet, Gengis Khan, the monk Huian Tsang and the Venetian Marco Polo have left their material and spiritual footprints". (Alexander Yakovlev, Dessins et Peintures d'Asie Croquis et notes de voyages. Paris:Lucien Vogel, 1934)
