Radjepouts.
[by Balthazar Solvyns]
[published Paris, 1808]
Etching printed in colour with hand-colouring, platemark approx 360 x 250mm (14¼ x 9¾"). Uncut sheet.
'These Hindoos, who bear the name of the country which they inhabit, form a military cast connected with that of the K'hutterys, of whom we have already spoken...they serve as soldiers for pay, preferring those who offer most. For this reason probably they are so numerous in the English armies...The Rajpoot represented in the engraving is leaning carelessly against a tree: his dress is not military, because we profess to treat only of the distinction of casts by Menu, the Hindoo legislator' (from letterpress published with the 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.

[published Paris, 1808]
Etching printed in colour with hand-colouring, platemark approx 495 x 360mm (19½ x 14¼"). Uncut sheet; central fold as issued.
'This festival, one of the most solemn among the Hindoos, is celebrated once every year in the month of assar, which answers to our month of june. The object is to celebrate the travels of Kistna with Radica; and it consists in dragging with great pomp, the god, his mistress, and his companions, in a sort of edifice or pagoda constructed in wood, and adorned with tolerable sculpture. These relievos, and its hieroglyphic paintings are too obscene to admit of representation. With this exception the engraving gives an exact idea of this species of building, which is called Routh. Two horses of wood painted blue appear to draw, and a Brahmun to guide, it, while the machine placed upon a number of small, but very solid wheels, is moved in reality by two cords which are grasped by the most zealous among the thousands of attendants of both sexes and of every age and sect' (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.

Tippoo Sahib or Tipu Sahib, (1749-1799), Indian ruler, sultan of Mysore (1782-99); son and successor of Haidar Ali. He fought in his father's campaigns against the Marathas and the British but, after his succession, made peace with the British in 1784. His invasion (1789) of Travancore, a state under British protection, provoked war anew, and in 1792 he was defeated by a force under Lord Cornwallis composed of British, Maratha, and Hyderabad troops. He was forced to cede territory. In 1798, Tippoo formed a vague alliance with the French, which gave the British governor-general Lord Wellesley a pretext to invade Mysore in alliance with the nizam of Hyderabad. Tippoo was killed (May, 1799) defending his capital at 'Shrirangapattana'. His kingdom was divided among the victors. The portrait was published in 'Allgemeine Geographische Ephemeriden' (Universal Geographical Ephemerides (i.e. encyclopedia)) by Friedrich Bertuch et al.
