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.
