The Flemish artist F. Balthazar Solvyns lived in Calcutta from 1791
to 1803 and produced a remarkable series of etchings portraying the
people of Bengal in their life and culture. First published in
Calcutta in 1796 and redone for a more elaborate Paris edition, Les
Hindous, 1808-12, some 300 etchings, with their accompanying
descriptions, provide a rich and detailed ethnographic survey of
India of two hundred years ago. With sections on caste occupations,
household servants, festivals, religious mendicants, and musical
instruments, Solvyns includes a portrayal of the boats of Bengal in
36 etchings.
