James Fraser was a Scottish traveller, author and artist who illustrated and wrote about Asia Minor and India. Following the success of his book of Himalaya views, James Fraser decided to produce another work based on sketches which he brought back to England. Fraser's illustrations represent some of best and earliest picturesque views of India.
Originally published in eight parts, with three plates to each part. This work was begun by Rodwell and Martin, but apparently extended and finished by Smith, Elder.
Folio, 24 hand colored aquatint plates by Havell, Lewis and Fielding, after Fraser.
