This artist, while residing in Calcutta from 1791 until 1804, produced a remarkable series of etchings depicting the people and culture he observed. These etchings include portrayals of 38 musical instruments as well as prints of the nautch and a Hindu "dancing girl." These etchings represent, in most instances, the first illustrations of the instruments and manner in which they are played.
