Commander in Chief of the Horse Marines. A Sketch at the Review.
W.G.
London Pub.d by O. Hodgson, Cloth Fair. [n.d., c.1832.]
Fine coloured etching. Sheet 225 x 260mm (9 x 10¼"). Trimmed within plate, evidence of a crack in the printing plate.
An officer sitting astride a mount that is a horse with the stern and rudder of a ship, with a bow gun on its bridle and an anchor on its harness. Although the 17th Lancers were nicknamed "The Horse Marines" after their service on HMS Hermione in the West Indies in 1795, the term was a music hall term for a pointless military unit.

Drawn from Nature and on Stone by Capt.n E.A. McCurdy, 27th Regi. M.N.I. Engelman, Fraf & Coindet, Lithog.
Published by Smith, Elder & Co, 65 Cornhill [1831].
Oblong large folio, original half calf with marbled back board, lacking front board; title, pp (ii), lithographic title with vignette and four plates with large margins, all on chine collé, as called for. Scarce complete. Some spotting. Plate II & III very slight worming top left.
A very rare set of views of the Nilgiri Mountains, part of the Western Ghats in western Tamil Nadu. Because of the temperate weather and the spectacular scenery, the Nilgiri became a popular sanctuary for escaping the summer heat for the Raj British. The two pages of text contain an introduction and descriptions of the plates. A review in 'The Asiatic Journal', Volume 4 (1831), dates the publication to 1831, describing it as 'the first attempt to exhibit the grand mountain scenery of the Neilgherries to the eye of residents in Europe'.
