London, Edward Orme, [fra il 1809 e il 1820]. Serie di 15 belle incisioni in rame (la tecnica è quella del punteggiato), accuratamente acquerellate a mano all'epoca, raffiguranti musicisti indiani e i loro strumenti. Le incisioni sono datate in lastra 1804 o 1805 (gli anni nei quali furono incise), alcune recano la sottoscrizione "Bart. Solvyns pinx, Calcutta". Tutte sono numerate. I fogli misurano 332x252 circa e sono tutti inseriti in passe-partout. Provenienti dall'opera "The costume of Indostan" edita la prima volta a Londra nel 1804-1805 da Edward Orme, e che rielaborava le acqueforti di Frans Balthasar Solvyns (1760-1824) realizzate per l'opera "A collections of two hundred and fifty colored etchings: descriptive of the manner, customs and dresses of the Hindoos" (Calcutta 1799). La versione di Orme era ridotta nel numero di tavole (solo 60), ma la qualità delle stesse era ottima, forse migliore delle originali. La prima edizione di Orme risale al 1804-1805. Questa bella raccolta di musicisti proviene da una edizione di poco successiva al 1809 (alcune tavole, pur su "wove paper", recano in filigrana la data di produzione della carta: "Edmeads & Co. 1809; una 1802). Gli strumenti raffigurati sono: D'Hauk, Jutrung, A D'Holuc, A Tubla, Saringee, Kaura, Nagra, Surmungla, Jugo Jhumpo, Pukwauz, A Sunk or Chank, A Tumboora, A Sittara or Guitar, A Sarinda or Violin, Pennauck or Been. Ottime condizioni.
