Abbey Travel 477; Lipperheide (1965) Ld 37; not in Colas or Tooley. Rare. 'Relatively little is known about Mrs. Belnos. Her husband, Jean-Jacques Belnos, was a French miniaturist and lithographer, who had travelled to India in 1807, and established a practice in Calcutta as a painter of miniatures and portraits of the British, a business which his widow seems to have continued following his death' (De Silva, Colonial Self-Fashioning in British India, c.1785-1845, pp. 106-7). Abbey speculates that Mrs Belnos was Indian, but she was in fact almost certainly the daughter of William Moore, assistant surgeon in the Bengal army. This seems to be her second and last published work, following Twenty four Plates Illustrative of Hindoo and European Manners in Bengal, which appeared in 1832.
