8 hand-coloured aquatints by Francis Jukes after Anburey (from 384 x 530mm to 530 x 645mm), from Anburey's Hindoostan Scenery, London: 1799 (three plates trimmed to within platemark, one without imprint, one marginal repair). Not in Abbey. Exhibited: Northern Entrance of Gundecotta Pass, India Observed, no. 70.
Archer notes that Anburey 'was clearly impressed by the grand scenery near the Fort at Gandikotta which was situated above one of the greatest gorges in South India, that of the Penner River.'
JAMES MOFFAT (1775-1815)
View on the Banks of the Ganges with representation of the Churruck Poojah, - a Hindoo Holiday, hand-coloured lithograph from Moffat's Views on the Hoogly, 1798. Not in Abbey; together with 5 aquatints, 2 hand-coloured, from Moffat's Views of Calcutta... and from Moffat and Creighton's The Ruins of Gour, 1808 (3 plates neatly repaired).
Moffat worked in Calcutta from 1789 to 1815 as artist and engraver. His engravings of Indian scenes 'with their formalised rocks and trees have a naive charm. They brought to the notice of the British a number of little known places and scenes' (Archer). (14)
