[by Balthazar Solvyns]
[published Paris, 1811]
Etching with hand-colouring, platemark 490 x 350mm (19¼ x 13¾"). Central fold as issued; uncut sheet.
View to the north-west of Calcutta, documenting on the frequent storms, which take their name from the direction of the wind. The accompanying letterpress described 'a dreadful noise which seems to announce the confusion of all the elements. The clouds thicken, and are torn by continual flashes of lightning; the thunder roars, and torrents of rain often deluge the country...the river then assumes the appearance of a boisterous sea, and sometimes overwhelms the vessels which have not had the prudence to fly for shelter to the creeks or canals'. 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.

Louisa Caldron on the Torture, called Picketting, alias Picton-ing.
Louisa Caldron on the Torture, called Picketting, alias Picton-ing.
[n.d., c.1806.]
Rare etching. Sheet: 210 x 195mm (8¼ x 7¾"). Trimmed, some damage on left edge and a vertical fold.
A scene showing Luisa Calderón, a young mulatto woman, being tortured to force her confession for helping her lover with a burglary in 1801. The image was used to illustrate the torture used against Calderón in the 1806 trial of the British Governor of Trinidad, General Thomas Picton, who authorised the torture. Picketting, a form of military punishment, was the compelling of a suspended suspect to stand on the flat head of a peg for long periods of time. The trial caused much of a stir with the public, not least because Calderón was attractive and prints such as these showed what a young, attractive woman in state of undress, being tortured might look like captured the public's attention.
