About the Book: Daniells India: Views from the Eighteenth Century
Thomas Daniell was thirty-six years old when he and his nephew William, barely
sixteen, sailed out from Gravesend in April 1785, headed for the East. They
arrived in Calcutta via China the next year. The Daniells travelled across
India, painting Oriental Scenery wherever they went. Their views were widely
appreciated and are representative of that fascinating period. The Daniells
returned to England in September 1794. This special book presents a selection of
their work in India, bringing alive the scenery and architecture of that age.
