BACK COVER:

Northwest gate of the fort, Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh.

c. 30 October 1789

On their way up-country,

the Daniells had hurried through Allahabad.

On the way back,

they stayed for several days and made drawings,

in particular of the Fort which stood at the

junction of the Ganges and Jumna Rivers.

The Fort which was built

by the Mughal Emperor Akbar

had been begun in 1583.

It contained a number of pavilions

such as the Chalis Satun which have now been destroyed.

“Spent the day in the fort,

chiefly employed in making correct drawings

of the Ornaments in the Buildings

which we have made views of.

Thermometer this morning 64.”

(William Daniell, Journal)

The Daniells in India

Late 18th century England saw India

as a land of violent extremes,

enigmatic dangers and lush exoticism.

When the Daniells arrived in 1786,

the English were ensconced in Calcutta, Bombay and Madras.

And the colonials tall tales

of the fabulous land they were conquering

were shrouded in myth and rumour.

In seven intrepid hard-working years,

from 1786 to 1793,

Thomas Daniell and his nephew

William changed this forever.

Photography had yet to be invented

and Indians hadn’t yet learnt the art of landscape painting.

Showing great determination and fortitude,

enduring heat, floods, and storms,

braving countless hazards of rural travel,

the Daniells captured on paper the majestic landscapes

and the handsome and,

to contemporary European eyes often startling,

architecture of the sub-continent with evocative accuracy.

They travelled, often by river,

with not only large supplies of materials, tents, palanquins and servants,

but a camera obscura to assist in recording detail,

and a ‘perambulator’ to measure the mileage of their journeys.

Both men were industrious.

Scarcely a day passed without sketches being made

or worked up into full water colours or oils.

They were professionals.

The drawings they made became source material

for engravings, publications, and paintings

for the rest of their lives.

At the age of 79,

Thomas exhibited an oil based on a scene at Guar

which he had sketched thirty seven years before.

William’s last Royal Academy exhibit

began as a sketch made when he was twenty.

But while theirs was no classical Grand Tour,

it was consistent with the spirit of the age,

a time of exploration which saw Cook and Banks,

for example, roaming the South Pacific

and charting Australia and New Zealand,

Thomas and William introduced a real India

permanently into British painting.

The scenes they captured the river ghats,

temples shaded by overhanging trees,

boats rowed by turbaned coolies,

the mosques, palaces

and the stretches of languid landscape still endure.

The P&O collection of Daniells watercolours

was acquired in 1952 by Sir Donald Anderson,

then Deputy Chairman of the Company.
