François Balthazar Solvyns:

The Etchings Online

A Collection of Two Hundred and Fifty Coloured Etchings: Descriptive of the Manners, Customs and Dresses of the Hindoos. Calcutta, 1796, 1799.

The Costume of Indostan [pirated edition]. London: Edward Orme [1804-05], 1807. [60 engravings after Solvyns's Calcutta etchings]

Les Hindoûs. 4 vols. Paris: Chez L'Auteur, 1808-1812. [288 plates & 4 title pages]

The complete Solvyns etchings--250 from the Calcutta edition; 60 plates from the pirated Orme edition; and 292 etchings from Les Hindoûs--are here reproduced online following the organization of Robert L. Hardgrave, Jr., A Portrait of the Hindus: Balthazar Solvyns & the European Image of India 1760-1824 (Oxford University Press and Mapin Publishing, 2004). Etchings of each subject portrayed are listed under the plate title in A Portrait of the Hindus, with page numbers for the descriptive text in the book, both Solvyns's description and Hardgrave's Commentary. Plates are identified for the Calcutta edition (following the numbering in Solvyns's 1799 Catalogue, with titles as in the labels below each plate) as Calcutta: Section, Number; for The Costume of Indostan as Orme: Number; and for Les Hindoûs as Paris: Volume, Section (livraison), Number. Note that large format plates in the Calcutta edition are unnumbered and precede each section. Thus for the portrait of the Oriya Brahmin, the entry is:

17. Oriya, Orissa Brahmin (pp. 162-63).

Calcutta: Sec. I, No. 5.

Orme: 1.

Paris: I.1.6.

As most users of this website may not have the font software for Indian diacritical marks, the titles below are transliterated without diacriticals. In A Portrait of the Hindus, the titles, as well as other Indian words, appear with diacritical marks.

All prints are from the collection of Robert L. Hardgrave, Jr., unless otherwise noted, and may not be reproduced without the owner's permission.
