Description
The Flemish artist F. Balthazar Solvyns lived in Calcutta from 1791 to 1803 and produced a remarkable series of etchings portraying the people of Bengal in their life and culture. First published in 1796, Hardgrave reproduces 36 of these prints, together with Solvyn's descriptive text, and a commentary on each plate.
