專家說明

Two drawings from the farthest extent of the Daniells' first 'northern tour' of India, from Calcutta to Srinagar and back, in 1788-1791, when they became the first Europeans to reach, and climb in, the foothills of the Himalayas. They reached Srinagar on 27 April 1789. Their sketches of the foothills in the state of Garwhal would furnish a dozen plates, half of the fourth volume of their Oriental Scenery. For their washed drawings here see Christie's, London, 24 Sept. 1996, (India Observed. The P&O Collection of Watercolours of India by Thomas Daniell, R.A. and William Daniell, R.A.), lots 55-64.
