Fae, That is awesome, and a great reminder to me of all the good things about Wikipedia! I love how everyone who has written about this just has to provide a link to one of the pictures. They really are lusciously beautiful - hi res, full color, and unusual subjects, which is exactly what the long tail of Wikipedia articles is all about. I can't wait until it's all done, thanks Jane

FYI, I'm in the process of uploading this collection and sorted out the metadata mapping last week. There were a few wrinkles to iron out, as the current catalogue appears to use some lower resolution images that previously were available, so I'm waiting on a reply from LACMA on these points.
You can see progress at < http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Batch_uploading/Los_Angeles_County..., comments and suggestions welcome.
Cheers, Fae

Look at this beautiful watercolor on mica from West Bengal circa 1800. http://collections.lacma.org/node/225266
This is cool.
