Henry Carre Tucker (1812 - 1875)

Henry Carre Tucker

Henry Carre Tucker was a British artist and civil servant in Bengal.

Born into the family of the chairman of the East India Company, he entered the Bengal civil service in 1831.

Tucker was an avid draughtsman: in pencil, pen, and watercolor he drew an entire album of views of India. These are landscapes, sketches of everyday life, palaces of the nobility, and huts of the poor-these drawings are a valuable historical record of life in nineteenth-century India.
