[View of Ballasore Roads] Rade, de la Balasore
[by Balthazar Solvyns]
[published Paris, 1811]
Etching with hand-colouring, platemark approx 490 x 355mm (19¼ x 13¾"). Central fold as issued; uncut sheet.
View from the harbour in Balasore, which 'offers nothing but the sea to the view'. The letterpress published with the print explains how the sea is 'frequented by different sorts of vessels', including 'large ships from Bombay, Surate, and other parts of the western coasts', schooners from the Ganges From the third volume of Balthazar Solvyns' 'Les Hindoûs'. Solvyns (1760-1824), a Flemish artist who lived in Calcutta from 1791 to 1803, etched a collection of 250 plates documenting various aspects of Calcutta life. The set was first published in Calcutta, where it proved a financial failure, and Solvyns produced another set which he published in Paris after returning to Europe, although again the venture was unsuccessful, probably in part due to its publication at the height of the Napoleonic Wars. Solvyns later returned to Antwerp, where William I appointed him Captain of the Port.

Plate three of Henry Salt's 'Twenty-four views in St. Helena, the Cape, India, Ceylon, the Red Sea, Abyssinia and Egypt', published 1809.

T'Cherout.
[by Balthazar Solvyns]
[published Paris, 1811]
Etching with hand-colouring, platemark approx 355 x 245mm (9½ x 13¾"). Uncut sheet.
'It is sufficient to say that the Cheroot is the seegar [cigar], all the lower classes of Hindoos who can not afford a Hooka must be content with a Cheroot which they themselves make' (from letterpress published with print). From the third volume of Balthazar Solvyns' 'Les Hindoûs'. Solvyns (1760-1824), a Flemish artist who lived in Calcutta from 1791 to 1803, etched a collection of 250 plates documenting various aspects of Calcutta life. The set was first published in Calcutta, where it proved a financial failure, and Solvyns produced another set which he published in Paris after returning to Europe, although again the venture was unsuccessful, probably in part due to its publication at the height of the Napoleonic Wars. Solvyns later returned to Antwerp, where William I appointed him Captain of the Port.

Djonlen-Jatrah. [Swinging of Kistna]
[by Balthazar Solvyns]
[published Paris, 1808]
Etching printed in colour with hand-colouring, platemark approx 495 x 360mm (19½ x 14¼"). Uncut sheet; central fold as issued.
'The object of this feast is to celebrate the Incarnation of Kistna. The God is represented in the fore ground of the engraving; attended by his comparnions, and his favourite Radica. His mother, Jussudhah, is placed behind him, holding a lamp with five branches, as a spell to preserve her son from the enchantments of his numerous mistresses' (from letterpress published with print). From the first volume of Balthazar Solvyns' 'Les Hindoûs'. Solvyns (1760-1824), a Flemish artist who lived in Calcutta from 1791 to 1803, etched a collection of 250 plates documenting various aspects of Calcutta life. The set was first published in Calcutta, where it proved a financial failure, and Solvyns produced another set which he published in Paris after returning to Europe, although again the venture was unsuccessful, probably in part due to its publication at the height of the Napoleonic Wars. Solvyns later returned to Antwerp, where William I appointed him Captain of the Port.

Hindu religious festival 'believed to be a celebration of the orgies of Kistna with his mistresses and companions.

Outside are musicians, who, with different instruments and very great noise, proclaim and celebrate the feast' (from letterpress published with print).
