View Dimensions Print Size: 19.25 x 23.25 in (49 x 59.2 cm)With Mount: 24 x 30 in (61 x 76 cm)Inscription lettered below image with title, production detail: "Drawn by J. B. Fraser", "Engraved by R. Havell & Son, No. VII" and publication line: "Published as the Act directs by Mesrs Rodwell & Martin, Bond Street, March 1, 1820"James Baillie Fraser (1783–1856)James Baillie Fraser, a Scot, travelled to India after the war with Nepal ended. Accompanied by his brother William, he explored the Himalayan region for two months in 1815-16, and the duo were the first Europeans to reach the sources of both the Ganga and Yamuna rivers. Under the tutelage of artist George Chinnery, Fraser documented his travels through sketches and writings. William Havell encouraged him to publish these upon his return to Calcutta. The writings were published as The Journal of a Tour through Part of the Snowy Range of the Himalaya Mountains and to the Sources of the Rivers Jumna and Ganges. The present lot is Plate no. 7 from James Baillie Fraser's, Views in the Himala Mountains, London: Rodwell & Martin, 1820.In style, the plates are similar to, and very much a match, for Henry Salt's and the Daniell brothers' large-scale views published 10 and 20 years earlier, respectively. This was a deliberate strategy by the publishers, who drew attention to the similarities in their advertisements, which describe the work as being 'In Elephant Folio, uniform with Daniell's Oriental Scenery, and Salt's Views in Abyssinia.'This lot will be shipped unframed.NON-EXPORTABLEThis lot will be shipped in "as is" condition. For further details, please refer to the images of individual lots as reference for the condition.
