Rare Calcutta Edition

Solvyns was a Belgian by birth and came to Calcutta in 1790 as a coach painter. He was fascinated by the local people and their customs which led to a book entitled A Collection of Two Hundred and Fifty coloured etchings descriptive of the manners, customs and dresses of the Hindoos., which was published in 1799. From Calcutta, Solvyns and his wife returned to Antwerp ad then moved to Paris. Here, between 1808 and 1812 he brought out a new and even larger edition of his work entitled Les Hindous.
