Antique prints of India

Our antique prints of India date from 1785 to 1841. The earliest is an eighteenth-century engraving of the castle of Surat; the nineteenth century brings Colgong on the Ganges engraved by Edward Goodall after J. M. W. Turner (1836), the temple of Ganesha at Benares (1839), the shore temple of Mahabalipuram near Madras in steel engraving (1841), and Hindu fakirs engraved by R. Bell after Bernard Picart. Thomas Jeavons is also represented.

Turner's Indian views, worked up in England from sketches by others, are a curiosity prized by collectors of both the artist and the subject.

All pieces are period originals unless stated otherwise, with a technical description and measurements.
