1822réf. 323375London: William Miller 1822. First edition later issue. Hand-colored aquatint dedication/title and 24 hand colored aquatint plates by D. Havell J. Hill and J. Bluck supervised by Robert Havell after Henry Salt on thick Whatman paper watermarked 1822. Interleaved throughout with blanks. Without the separately-issued octavo text as usual. Elephant folio. Contemporary half calf and marbled paper boards large morocco label on the upper cover spine gilt. Foxing to a few plates. First edition later issue. Hand-colored aquatint dedication/title and 24 hand colored aquatint plates by D. Havell J. Hill and J. Bluck supervised by Robert Havell after Henry Salt on thick Whatman paper watermarked 1822. Interleaved throughout with blanks. Without the separately-issued octavo text as usual. Elephant folio. A very fine set of views after drawings by Henry Salt. Salt left London in 1802 for an eastern tour with Lord Valentia visiting Indian and Ceylon and taking part in the first British mission to Abyssinia. At Calcutta they were entertained by the Governor-General Marquis Wellesley the dedicatee and travelled to Benares Lucknow Ceylon and Madras. From Mangalore Salt explored the Red Sea. After returning to Bombay and Poona he travelled again to the Red Sea and made an extensive journey inland to the Abyssinian Highlands. Salt's original drawings remained in Valentia's possession and after Salt's death the plates too became his property. Like Fraser's Himala Salt's Twenty-Four Views was published in the same size and style as Daniell's Oriental Scenery and is seen very much as a continuation of that great work. The plates include fine views of Chowringhee; the fort of Jaunpur; 2 aquatints of Lucknow including the mosque in the Great Imambara; the great Temple at Tanjore; Poona; the Chaitya Cave; 2 aquatints of Cairo; Cape Town etc. The present example is the reissue by Thomas M'Lean printed on Whatman paper watermarked 1822 but otherwise printed from the same plates as the 1809 edition.

1809réf. 41444London: William Miller 1809. Hand-coloured aquatint engraving by D. Havell after Henry Salt on wove paper watermark 'J Whatman'. A view of Lucknow showing the famous Asafi Mosque. Henry Salt artist traveller diplomat and collector of antiquities was born at Lichfield Staffordshire England on 14 June 1780. He was determined to become a portrait-painter and upon leaving school was taught drawing by Glover the watercolour-painter of Lichfield. In 1797 he went to London to study with Joseph Farington R.A. and then with John Hoppner R.A. in 1800. The turning point in his career was 3 June 1802 when Salt left London for an Eastern tour with George viscount Valentia afterwards Lord Mountnorris whom he accompanied as secretary and draughtsman. He visited India Sri Lanka and Abyssinia returning to England on 26 Oct. 1806. He made many drawings some of which served to illustrate Lord Valentia's Voyages and Travels to India published in 1809. The present image is from a work titled Twenty-four Views in St. Helena the Cape India Ceylon the Red Sea Abyssinia and Egypt published by William Miller with hand-coloured aquatints by D. Havell and J. Bluck from Salt's own drawings. The originals of all these drawings were retained by Lord Valentia who also retained the ownership of the copper plates after Salt's death. The format and style of presentation of the plates is similar to Thomas and William Daniell's great work Oriental Scenery 1795-1808 and displays great artistry by both Salt and his engravers. The Asafi Mosque is part of the larger Bara Imambara complex which was commissioned by Nawab Asaf-ud-Daula the fourth Nawab of Awadh in 1784 and was completed in 1791. The Asafi Mosque follows the Mughal architectural style characterized by grand arches domes and intricate designs. The mosque is a prominent example of the cultural and artistic heritage of the region during the Nawabi era. Abbey Travel II 515 no.3. William Miller unknown
