1842M2ACVI942UQXLondon: Thomas McLean 1842. Contemporary half calf with cloth sides gold tooled title on front cover. Large folio 545 x 375 cm. With 6 hand coloured lithograph plates and a lithographed title. First and only edition of an ethnographic study of native Indian people by William Tayler 1808-1892 who was at that time Acting Salt Agent of the Central Division of Cuttack for the East India Company. He dedicated his work to "Lady William Bentinck" born Lady Mary Acheson 1809-1850 who was the wife of the Governor-General of India. The illustrations were drawn by Tayler himself who was an amateur artist and drew much of the Indian daily life that he encountered. He selected the present 6 drawings to be published and had them lithographed by J. Bouvier. The first 3 plates not only show the ways of Indian people but even more so the luxurious life of the English in India. The first plate The Young Civilian's Toilet shows a young man relaxing while being treated by several servants who are named Anglo-Indians. The room is strewn with objects of leisure. The next 2 plates The Young Ladies Toilet & The Breakfast show equal scenes. The other 3 plates are more ethnographic in nature showing native Indians in their everyday life: Women grinding at the mill; the Sunyasees Sannyasis & The village barber. Tayler later became a controversial figure for his excessively harsh oppression of Indian people when he was the commissioner of Patna.Spine and covers slightly worn pages a little frayed some foxing on the text pages.

1996041564Toronto: HarperCollins 1996 Book. As New. Hardcover. 1st Can Ed. Since reading a biography of him more than 25 years ago Christopher Ondaatje has been fascinated with the still-enigmatic Sir Richard Francis Burton 19th-century explorer scholar poet and British secret agent. With his dashing dark and sensual looks towering physical presence and razor-sharp tongue Richard Burton could have been invented by a Victorian novelist -- but he was very real accomplishing an amazing range of intellectual and physical exploits. From his discovery and translation of the Kama Sutra to his exploration of the source of the Nile to his pilgrimage to Mecca and his widely known beliefs on female sexuality Burton was the star -- and scandal -- of the Victorian age. Despite the presence of several biographies on Burton Ondaatje believed there were large gaps in the startling drama that was the explorer's life. Sindh Revisited is the author's account of his personal and physical quest to uncover the secrets of the early life of Richard Burton and to discover the "devil" that drove this brilliant and restless adventurer.Ondaatje began his quest in Bombay trying to discover' what it was about India ha changed Richard Burton from a rebellious wayward youth into a man of courage imagination wisdom and power. His retracing of Burton's travel through India is a passionate and richly layered meeting of past and present magnificently illustrated with full colour photographs and historical illustrations.The result is not just a simple biography but an account of a man's psychological and philosophical journey in search of answers the have long mystified biographers and historians.351p.
