MAJOR LOARD, JOHN

VIEWS IN INDIA SANT HELENA AND CAR NIGOBAR

DRAWN FROM NATURE AND ON STONE

Number of Engravings: 61 Plates
Year: 1838

Size: 36.6 x 26.5 cm (14.4 x 10.4 inches)

244 pages including 1 lithograph frontispiece; 1 lithographed title page; 59 hand-coloured lithograph plates and having a descriptive text for each plate; half leather-bound with leather corners and new marbled boards with gilt text at the spine with 5 raised bands. The present lot is a leather-bound book with several lithograph plates illustrating views of the Taj Mahal, the city of Delhi during the British Raj and Indian culture and people. For this volume, Luard etched the illustrations on stone himself as the cost of line engraving was expensive at the time. As the book was composed over a long period of time, its plates were printed by multiple publishers, including C Hullmandel, Maguire, Lemercier & Co., Maguire & Co., and Graf & Soret, and is rarely found as a complete set.
