A VIEW OF ESPLANADE ROW

James Bailie Fraser, a European watercolourist and printmaker, travelled extensively through India and published a series of aquatints in England called ‘Views of Calcutta and its Environs,’ between 1824 and 1826. Fraser’s views imbue the city with a hint of romanticism to convey a sense of pride in British rule. Fraser produced animated sketches of the busy city, published later as a collection of twenty-four superbly aquatinted plates in this book.  This is plate no 5.
