Description
Maria Graham
JOURNAL OF A RESIDENCE IN INDIA Illustrated by Engravings
265 x 220 x 25 mm
Maria Graham went to India in 1809 and moved from Bombay, visiting many of the more interesting sights nearby, to Poonah. She travelled to Ceylon, Trincomale and Madras. From there she went to Calcutta, returning to the Coromandel coast to embark for England in 1811. On the way home she stopped at the Cape of Good Hope and St. Helena. Colour plate frontispiece, 16 Plates including one of `Cape Town from the Heer Graght` showing the Parade and Castle. Two of the plates are 3-page fold-outs. Pages[i-v]vi-xii pp[1]2-215. Full leather binding. Page edges gilt, top, front and lower edge. Gilt stamped pattern on front and back covers, raised gilt design, title and date on spine. Leather corners bumped through to boards. Covers marked, but consistent with the age of the book. Green endpapers, some mild foxing and some discolouration of parts of pages throughout. Text very clear, plates foxed in places but still clear. Owner bookplate. Owner signature and neat additions to the glossary of Indian terms. Many margins have neat black ink lines marking paragraphs of particular interest to a previous owner. Not untidy. Some b/w engravings may appear to have been coloured. This is a result of the scanning process and there is no colour on the plates themselves.
Very Good
