LUDLOW, William Andrew (1803-1853)

Bengal Troops on the line of March. A Panoramic Sketch by an Officer of that Army. [London:] Day and Haghe, [1835].

A rare, finely observed panorama of the hazards encountered in the movement of troops in India. Captain Andrew Ludlow is listed in the East India Register and Directory as being on furlough from the Twelfth Regiment Bengal Native Infantry in 1835. In the descriptive text accompanying the panorama, he describes putting together the sketches for publication on the long sea voyage home: 'This hasty sketch, put together on board Ship, was originally undertaken as much for the purpose of breaking the monotony of a long sea voyage, as to give to a numerous acquaintance at home a better idea of Troops moving in the East, than the Designer could convey in conversation.' Abbey Life 530; Bobins IV, 1308; Ogilby 485 (1).



Folio (556 x 374mm). Zincographic title (210 x 287mm) and 18 plates (approx. 115 x 534mm, a few slightly smaller) all coloured by a contemporary hand, signed with initials 'WAL' in the title plate and plate no. 9, the plates mounted recto and verso on folio leaves, the panorama when joined extending to approx. 8806mm long, complete with zincographed leaf of explanatory text (115 x 531mm) (without the small additional title found at end of plate next to 'Hindoo Idol and Priest', the some faint soiling to plates, heavier to title, text leaf and title with some cockling, minor tears and repairs to printed leaves, some leaves detached). Contemporary boards (rebacked with crude cloth backstrip, boards worn and repaired); contained in a modern blue cloth box with red morocco gilt label on upper cover.
