Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good. Text in English. 123 pp. Slight wear to dust jacket. In 1783 Warren Hastings sent a second embassy to Tibet and to the isolated Buddhist state which survives today as the Kingdom of Bhutan. Samuel Davis, a young lieutenant in the Bengal Army, accompanied the mission as draftsman and surveyor. Although he was denied access to Tibet, Davis spent several months in Bhutan and 59 of his original drawings of that country have recently been traced by Michael Aris to collections in India, the United States and England. The finest of these hitherto unpublished views form the main content of this book. Davis (1760-1819), a highly accomplished amateur, was the first foreign artist to paint in the Himalayas and the only one of distinction ever to work in Bhutan. Although he remains an obscure figure he belongs to a recognizable eighteenth-century type, the 'Gentleman Amateur of Science'. After the mission of 1783 he became a scholar-administrator, an authority on Indian astronomy, and a friend and collaborator of the brilliant lawyer and orientalist Sir William Jones. Drawing, however, always remained his 'most favourite amusement'. He died a Director of the East India Company and a Fellow of the Royal Society. The plates are arranged according to the progress of the 1783 mission, leading from the Himalayan foothills above the plains of Bengal through tortuous ravines up to the old winter capital at Punakha. Several engravings by the artist's close friend, the incomparable William Daniell are included, and all the plates are accompanied by descriptive passages selected from the literature of the period. Part of Davis's fascinating Bhutan journal has been edited to complement his paintings. N° de réf. du vendeur 4460
