Mera Ben Kavas Sett had a great reputation as an artist in Europe. The art-loving public held him in high esteem.

Rupert Brook, the famous poet, once wrote a two-column critique of Mr. Sett's art. His last para was "If Mr. Sett has not been universally acclaimed as the greatest draughtsman and decorator living, the fault lies with his own exclusive and publicity shunning nature. His Omar will have the pride of place in my library".

Art journals of France, Germany, England and America praised this book as outstanding. In many schools of art it was used as model by the students.

He was known in Europe as an Interior Decorator. He had illustrated many other books.
