On page 4 of this wonderful catalog is the photograph and text
shown here. Since it is too small for you to read, it is typed here verbatim for you...
"The Spirit Of India"
"It was the turn of the century, and the allure of distant and exotic
India captured Jacques Cartier's imagination. In the course of his
travels there, the maharajahs of India presented him with their jewels
for redesign using the latest Cartier innovations.
In his work, Cartier maintained the gems' traditional shapes,
blending Indian traditions and his own imagination to create a
new style ... one that has influenced the House of Cartier for
almost a century.
