Daniells’ India : Views From the Eighteenth Century

Thomas Daniell was thirty-six years old when he and his nephew William, barely sixteen, sailed out from Gravesend in April 1785, headed for the East. They arrived in Calcutta via China the following year. They travelled across India, painting Oriental Scenery wherever they went. Their views were widely appreciated and are representative of that fascinating period, as presented in this volume. The Daniells returned to England in September 1794. This special book presents a selection of their work in India, bringing to life the scenery and architecture of that era.
