Solvyns, Frans Baltasar Les Hindoûs Oû Descripion de Leurs Moeurs, Costumes et Cérémonies. Paris: Chez l'Auteur...et chez H. Nicolle, 1808-12. First French edition, 4 volumes, folio, four colour-printed etched vignette titles and 288 colour-printed etched plates (many hand finished), later green half calf gilt in a sensitive and contemporary style, top edges gilt, a little foxing and browning, mostly very light and predominantly in volume 1, a few plates sensitively remargined with later mounts, crease to half-title of volume 1 with name trimmed from upper right edge [Abbey, Travel, 430] (4)Footnote: Note: Collected from the original 48 parts, a full set such as this, with plates coloured by the author, would cost around 2,600 francs at the time of publication. An early example of colour printing, it seems that two printing plates were used to apply a chiaroscuro effect with one or more colours applied by each. Extra colour was then applied by hand. The work in total illustrates Solvyns's observations of Hindu customs, celebrations, occupations, costume and the caste system. Customs and habits are described in the accompanying text. Dutch native, Balthasar Solvyns, travelled to Calcutta at the end of the 18th century and worked as an artist, providing illustrations for a report by Alexander Kyd on his expedition to Penang and the Andaman Islands. Observing that the British displayed a keen interest in Indian costume and culture, Solvyns was inspired produce “A Collection of Two Hundred and Fifty Coloured Etchings Descriptive of the Manners, Customs, and Dress of the Hindoos” in 1799. The present work is an enlarged version of this, with a total of 288 plates with text in French and English.

Stampe, entitled "Extracts &c., Bifrons, Christmas 1828", including a transcribed poem, "Ada to her Cat", attributed to "A. Ada Byron, Christmas day 1828" and seemingly narrated to Stampe by "Lady N.B." [Lady Noel Byron, Anne Isabella Noel Byron, née Milbanke], with an illustration of the cat ("The lovely Puff in a Sweet Slumber") drawn by Lady Byron pasted to the reverse, which Sharpe has captioned: "Given me by Ada - Decmbr 1828 at Bifrons I.M.S.", a total of 56 MSS. leaves, several with poems and writings by I. Noel, and extracts from the romantic poets, contemporary red straight-grained morocco gilt, 19 x 24cmFootnote: Note: Following a separation from Lord Byron in 1815, and Lord Byron's death in 1824, Lady Byron and her daughter, Ada, became the tenants of Bifrons Mansion House, near Canterbury. This album seems to have been a Christmas present to a relative or friend named I. Sharpe who celebrated with the family at the house in 1828, when Ada was just 14 years old. The poem, "Dear object of my tender care,/ Which neither dog nor bird may share,/ Of all the feline tribe most rare, My pussy!" is attributed by Sharpe to the young Ada and runs to four stanzas. The quantity of writings later in the album attributed to I. Noel suggests that Sharpe may have been Ada's maternal aunt or a cousin, Noel being one of Lady Byron's family names. Ada Byron, Lord Byron's daughter, became Ada Lovelace in 1835 and is renowned for having published the first computer algorithm. Provenance: From the Library of the Late William St Clair
