Grindlay (1786-1877) was only 17 when he arrived in India in 1803. He served with the Bombay Native Infantry from 1804 to 1820 and during this period made a large collection of sketches and drawings. This plate, Grindlay writes: "represents one of the smaller fortresses with which this province abounds." (Source: British Library Board)Captain Robert Melville Grindlay (1786-1877), founder of the Grindlays Bank and a self-taught artist, arrived in India in 1803. Only 17 years old at the time, he worked with the East India Company's military service and served with the 7th Bombay Native Infantry from 1804 to 1820. During these years, he travelled widely across the country, and made numerous drawings and sketches on the landscapes and life around him, including views of Bombay, Gujarat and Ellora.The present lot is from the compilation of these plates, which he published upon his return to England. These are some of the most beautiful scenic colour plates on India. Grindlay went on to found Leslie & Grindlay, an agency house, in 1828. Initially, the agency helped secure travel arrangements of its clientele, to India and back, procuring sea passages, clearing and shipping baggage. The services graduated to banking operations...[and] by 1852 - the year Grindlay retired the firm had become the most distinguished bankers and agents to the civil and military officials of the business community and the British army in India.

View Dimensions c) Henri Merke after Captain Thomas WilliamsonKilling Game in Boats (Chasse au Gibier en Bateaux)1818Colour aquatint on paper13.25 x 17.5 in (34 x 44.5 cm)Published by T McLean, October 1818Depicts a scene of a tiger being hunted by many armed men on boats.Williamson served in a Bengal European Regiment for twenty years until 1798 when he was ordered home for reasons that are still uncertain. Part of the decision was definitely linked to his criticism of the Company's military policy through the publication of a letter in the Calcutta Telegraph and perhaps also because of his liberal views."Oriental Field Sports" merged the knowledge of India acquired by Williamson during his time there with the fine pictorial skills of Samuel Howitt. These prints are a complete, detailed, and accurate description of the sports of the East, and of Indian wildlife. In addition to the images, curios and original anecdotes complete the descriptions. As Williamson wrote in the preface: the work "is offered to the public as depicting the Manners, Customs, Scenery, and Costume of a territory now intimately blended with the British Empire, and of such importance to its welfare, as to annex a certain degree of consequence to every publication, that either exhibits, or professes to impart, a knowledge of whatever may hitherto have been concealed, or that remains unfolded to our view." The aquatints in these lots are dramatic depictions of both the chase and Indian scenery.These prints were delineated by Samuel Howitt from the original design of Captain Thomas Williamson and engraved by Henri Merke.Henri Merke was a Swiss aquatint engraver of sporting, genre and costume subjects after works by contemporary artist. He is thought to have been born in Zurich, but he worked in London.
