Description
The catalogue of British drawings in the India Office Library by Mildred Archer, published in two volumes in 1969, covered nearly 11,000 works, and revealed the riches of a collection that is a valuable visual resource for all aspects of life during the British period in South Asia. The present volume provides a detailed listing of all the drawings acquired since 1969, a total of 5500 representing over 300 individuals, including additional works by artists of the stature of William and Thomas Daniell, Thomas Hickey and George Chinnery, important drawings by William Simpson and Joseph D'Arcy, together with a large number of artists not previously represented in the collection - soldiers, civil servants, and their wives and daughters - whose work ranges from important early topographical studies to humorous sketches of everyday life. More than 60 drawings are reproduced in monochrome.
