EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The devils, including Ayimane, Sooniyan and Calloo-Coomare" from Edward Upham's renowned book, "The History and Doctrine of Buddhism" published in 1829. The vibrant color lithograph was created by an anonymous English artist during the 19th century. In this mesmerizing artwork, we are introduced to a world where birds, beasts, and deities coexist. The devils depicted here possess multiple arms and heads, embodying the essence of evil in Buddhist mythology. Each creature is intricately detailed with astonishing precision. Amongst these fearsome beings stands Ayimane, Sooniyan, and Calloo-Coomare - powerful figures that command attention. Their presence exudes both strength and malevolence as they dominate the composition with their imposing stature. The artist skillfully captures the essence of these demonic creatures through their menacing expressions and dynamic poses. An elephant head protruding from one devil's body symbolizes immense power while a peacock head adorning another signifies beauty intertwined with darkness. This illustration serves as a visual representation of Buddhist beliefs surrounding demons and evil forces within their religious doctrine. It offers viewers a glimpse into an otherworldly realm where mythical beings reign supreme. Preserved within a private collection known as The Stapleton Collection today, this remarkable piece continues to captivate audiences with its intricate details and rich symbolism. Its historical significance lies not only in its artistic merit but also in its contribution to our understanding
