Simon Fonceca

Simon Fonceca was a British-Portuguese artist based in Madras, India in the mid-19th century.

Between January 1851 and March 1853, he published twelve issues of sketches entitled Sketches in India Chiefly from Nature. As Fonceca himself wrote, the purpose of his work was "to present not only picturesque landscapes and other objects of local interest.... but also to describe the costume of the natives, their dwellings, huts, the implements used in their crafts, and the beautiful variety of trees characteristic of this country."

The lithographed sheets for this work were made by J. Dumphy, draughtsman and author at the Government Lithographic Printing Office in Madras.
