The Company School album (1795-1820). A truly remarkable album containing various sets of architectural, festival, botanical and individual studies painted by Bengal artists for European patrons at the beginning of the 19th century. Paralleling in style and quality the Wellesley Album and Hyde Collection in the British Library, this extensive album of watercolour miniatures gives a beautifully vivid representation of all areas of life in India under Company rule. -- source link
