Footnotes

Two good albums, one of which has many watercolours, ink or pencil sketches and prints relating to India. There are, in addition to several Behar Lithograph Press prints by Charles D'Oyly, numerous watercolour views signed D'Oyly. Notable scenes include an ink sketch "Calcutta from Garden Road, 11 January 1823", a watercolour of a European couple and servants outside their bungalow (and similar by ?the Ganges), two lively sketches of elephants (one during a pig-sticking hunt), and an unidentified fortress with a distant river scene in the background. The other album includes a fine watercolour captioned "Monument at Botany Bay to the Memory of La Perouse" (185 x 145mm.), closely derived from a lithograph issued by John Austin in the early 1830s; and a series of five pencil views of Tristan da Cunha, icebergs etc., seemingly based on scenes from James Fenimore Cooper's sea adventure The Red Rover.
