On page 4 of this wonderful catalog is the photograph and text shown here. Since it is digitized small and you can't read it, 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.
