Set of two prints from "24 Views in Indostan by William Orme"

a) J C Stadler after Francis Swain Ward
Anchshur, A Vakeel's Castle in The Territory of Bengal
1802
Original hand-coloured aquatint on paper
12.2 x 17.5 in

Plate twelve from '24 Views in Indostan by William Orme'. This picture is based on an original painted by Francis Swaine Ward (1736-94), and probably depicts the Nawab of Bengal's palace at Anupshahr (U.P.) in the mid to late eighteenth century. Anupshahr became an important town for the British East India Company because it was the northernmost point for shipping traffic on the River Ganges, and the location of an East India Company factory.

b) J C Stadler after Francis Swain Ward
The Palace of the Late Nabob of Arcot
1805
Original hand-coloured aquatint on paper

Plate 1 from '24 Views in Indostan by William Orme'. This aquatint is based on a picture by Francis Swaine Ward (1736-1794). It shows a mosque which adjoined the palace of the Nawab of Arcot at Tiruchchirappalli, Tamil Nadu. This palace is no longer standing. Ward served in the East India Company's army during the late eighteenth century, whilst the Nawab of Arcot was allied with the British. (Souce: British Library Board)
