The view of Hindoostan
A 1798 travelogue by Thomas Pennant, held by Heidelberg University Library and filed under South Asian literature and travel accounts, illustrated with engraved plates for an educated European readership. The pictures are sepia-toned engravings mixing coastal shipping scenes, a landscape with figures, a botanical plant study and a drawing of sea snakes, offering a designer tonal hatching and classic travel-plate composition.
