Schätzwert
£ 7 000 – 10 000
A Brief History of Ancient and Modern India, from the Earliest Periods of Antiquity to the Termination of the Late Mahratta War [Bound with] Picturesque Scenery in the Kingdom of Mysore from Forty Drawings Taken on the Spot. London: Edward Orme, 1805

2 works bound in one volume, oblong folio (437 x 543mm.), A Brief History: engraved additional title, hand-coloured engraved plate depicting "the native judges", 24 further magnificent hand-coloured aquatint plates [Abbey (Travel) 424 (part 17); Tooley (1954) 275]; Picturesque Scenery: 41 hand-coloured aquatint plates [Abbey (Travel) 424 (parts 7-16); Tooley (1954) 275], nineteenth century red half morocco gilt, some spotting and slight creasing, a few minor repairs to closed tears, extremities slightly rubbed

Blagdon and Hunter's works were originally published separately, then in parts (1802-1805), and then as one volume from 1805. The skilfully coloured images present here richly depict the dramatic landscapes of India as well as scenes of everyday life. Arguably one of the finest examples of the early colourplate books of the region.
