Intended to give a fair impression of artistic endeavor of high quality and to bring to light historical material of great importance, this book presents the life and work of traveling artist and writer Egron Lundgren (1815-75). Well-known in Sweden for his watercolours depicting his exploits in India, this artist has remained relatively unknown internationally. This book offers a wide selection of Lundgren's watercolours, and delves into the exotic world of India that he experienced and captured for his Swedish audience as he was sent out to report on the uprising in 1857-8.
