What reading level is The High Road of Empire Water Colour And Pen And Ink Sketches in India book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
When I saw these quaint towers, they were covered with pigeons, perching in the niches and fluttering and hovering around.
Another bright day, with the thermometer at 80, I was out sketching in Hornby Row at seven o'clock, and after breakfast Mrs. Burn-Murdoch kindly took us to see the Bombay Pottery Works. They were under the management of Mr. George Terry, an old man with a bent back, who told me that the origin of this revival of the old industry is due to a conversation he had with Sir Bart...le Frere. It is a rude kind of ware which is made here, something like the Valerie pottery but not with such transparent glaze, though some of the colours are very good.
Some of the best native potter's ware in all India comes from Sind, and the industry is believed to have been introduced by the Moguls. They covered their mosques and tombs with beautifully coloured specimens of this art, in tur- quoise-blue, copper-green, dark purple, or golden brown, under an exquisitely transparent glaze. The Indian artisan is remarkable for his patience, his thoroughness, and accuracy of detail, and his artistic feeling for colour and form.
