William Simpson was one of the most distinguished and original topographical painters of the second half of the nineteenth century. His travels took him to the Crimea, Circassia, Afghanistan, China and North America in capacities ranging from war artist to unofficial ambassador. In 1859 he went to India to prepare for a great projected work covering the life, landscapes and monuments of the country, and over the next two and a half years he travelled all over the sub-continent. The sketches he produced are wonderfully fresh, evoking the people, costumes, scenery, temples and palaces of a rich and vierse culture.The book not only traces Simpson's journey through a selection of the best of his sketches in pencil and wash, but also includes a number of the fully worked-up watercolours that he painted from them.

Victoria and Albert Museum in association with Trefoil Books

During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, Indian artists were commonly employed by the British East India Company and its servants to illustrate the manners and customs of India and to record its many picturesque sights, monuments, deities, festivals, crafts and occupations. Their work, a blend of Indian and British styles, is known as 'Company painting' and is represented in the Victoria and Albert Museum by over 2,600 examples. In this catalogue, Dr Mildred Archer discusses the circumstances in which this type of painting evolved and describes and lists the Museum's collection according to the various regions in which it was produced: Andhra, Trichinopoly, Madras, Madura, Tanjore, Malabar and Coorg, Mysore, Murshidabad, Patna, Calcutta, Benares, Puri, Oudh, Delhi and Agra, the Punjab, Rajasthan, Western India, Nepal, Burma, Sri Lanka and Malacca. Many little-known styles of Company painting are described and illustrated, including painting on mica, glass and ivory, and each section is prefaced by a historical note. The volume is richly illustrated and accompanied by an extensive bibliography, glossary and index.
