Scarce. Pioneering account beautifully illustrated (after sketches by the author). Marianne Postans travelled to India in 1833, with her husband, Thomas Postans, a Captain in the 15th Regiment of the Bombay Native Infantry where he was posted to Cutch (Kutch) the northwestern region of modern-day Gujarat. They both shared a deep interest in the people and traditions of India. Marianne's account attempts to describe the culture of the region, its bards and bardic literature (including specific songs and stories of Kutchi bards), arts and crafts, and agriculture and trade. She also describes in detail the social ills of the region, such as infanticide and the practise of sati. The beauty of the Rann awed her: ?The distant aspect of the Runn resembles that of the ocean at ebb tide; and as some water always remains on it, the refraction of light produces the most beautiful and mysterious effects, decorating it with all the enchantments of the most lovely specimens of mirage, whose magic power, exerting itself on the morning mists, indues this desert tract with the most bewitching scenes??.
