"Delhi" engraving, Fisher's Drawing Room Scrap-Book 1831
Subject
India
Description
This literary annual specifically employed the practice of ekphrastic poetical renderings: the engraving was provided to the poet to create a poem focused on the image's contents. With the larger size, Fisher's and L.E.L. usher in a new kind of annual that is driven by more visual iconography and, surprisingly, almost completely about topics in Africa, India, and other British Empire colonial holdings.
