Jukes (Francis) and Thomas Anburey Three views from 'Hindoostan Scenery consisting of Twelve Select Views in India', etchings and aquatint, with full hand-colouring, on Whatman wove paper, each platemark approx. 390 x 535 mm (15 3/8 x 21 in), each sheet approx. 500 x 630 mm (19 3/4 x 24 3/4 in), minor marginal repaired tears, some surface dirt, minor spotting, unframed, published by the artists, 1799 (3)
Provenance:
From the Collection of the Late W.G. and Mildred Archer; thence by descent.
⁂ Scarce. "Anburey served with the Bengal Army as a surveyor in 1792 and 1793, travelling first from Seringapatam to Hyderabad, then on through Berar to Kalpi. His sketches of the journey included many views that British audiences had never seen before. The beauty of these prints does not convey the rigours experienced on the long march, which were contemporaneous with a series of regional battles against the local Muslim ruler Tipu Sultan, known as the Mysore Wars (1767-1792)".
