Après un périple de 9 ans en Inde, Thomas et William Daniell publient les Oriental Scenery qui auront une influence durable sur l’intérêt des Britanniques et des Européens pour l’Inde et plus factuellement sur les arts décoratifs anglais du début 19e siècle.

Publié en livraisons, entre 1795 et 1808, l’ouvrage se compose de 6 suites comprenant des « View of Hindoostan », « Antiquities of India », et « Hindoo Excavations in the Mountain of Ellora ».

Abbey, 420 ; Archer, Early views of India ; Tooley 172.

Les planches des séries « Hinddo Excavations » sont faites d’après James Wales. 2 panoramas formés de 3 et 2 planches. Sans les serpentes. Reliure de l’époque : demi-maroquin vert à coins, armes de la famille Rothschild au centre des plats, dos à nerfs ornés. Les suites sont réparties dans les volumes comme ci-après selon la numérotation de Abbey : vol. I : « parts 1 and 2 » ; vol. II : « parts 4 and 6 ; vol. III : « parts 3 and 5 ». Légères mouillures en marges, sans atteinte aux illustrations, des rousseurs sur 3 planches, reliures légèrement frottées et restaurations anciennes au papier dominoté des plats. Exemplaire sans les volumes de texte au format in-octavo ni les 8 plans.

Provenance : Baron James de Rothschild (ex-libris et étiquette « Ferrières »).
