Plate impression 25 x 36.5cm; overall size 26.7 x 38.5 cm. Detailed map of the main French trading port in South East India and its surroundings in its early stages. The fortified city built in a grid pattern is shown to the right with the river Pondichery and its harbour outlet to the Indian Ocean to the left. An explanatory text in the right margin contains the geographical location with a key to twenty-two main points of interest marked in capital letters. Three entries relate to the famous textile manufacture in natural dyes - (southwest :) 0. Endroit ou on bat les toiles (place where cloth is beaten and pressed during the dyeing process); (southeast:) V. La Blancherie indicates the location for bleaching, rinsing and drying fabrics in meadows surrounded by hedges; two units marked X in the eastern part of the town refer to Rue de Tisserands (weavers street). The French East India Company was set up in Pondicherry in 1674 under the tutelage of Colbert as a trading centre which became the main French settlement in India. Commercial relations between France and India developed rapidly as the taste for Indian goods increased. Good water quality allowed the establishment of bleaching and dyeing industries which produced the finest dyed blue cloth. The world-famous chintzes, hand-painted or stenciled fabrics exported to Europe, owed their desirability to their fast bright blues and reds, produced by indigo and chay-root , a plant native to coast southwest India.

In den Warenkorb10 x 8 photo of John Burroughs sitting on the front steps of his rustic Riverby study, signed in the lower border in fountain pen. Affixed to a 14 x 11 mount and in fine condition, with some faint toning to the mount. Vintage matte-finish 10 x 8 photo of John Burroughs sitting on the front steps of his rustic Riverby study, sign…ed in the lower border in fountain pen. Affixed to a 14 x 11 mount and in fine condition, with some faint toning to the mount.Born on a farm in the Catskills, Burroughs was an ardent lover of nature whose career of writing and philosophizing on the subject began in 1860 with the publication of his essay Expression in the Atlantic Monthly. Editor James Russell Lowell initially thought it had been plagiarized from Ralph Waldo Emerson who was incorrectly credited as its author in subsequent publications. Encouraged by his close friend, poet Walt Whitman, Burroughs published a collection of essays, Wake-Robin, in 1871, while working as a federal bank examiner in Washington, D.C.Burroughs' work combined observations of nature with philosophy, religion and literature and made him a popular figure during his day. Among his fans was Theodore Roosevelt who, after meeting him in 1889, became a close friend for the next three decades. Burroughs' essays also appeared in such collections as Locusts and Wild Honey, Squirrels and Other Fur-Bearers, Songs of Nature, Ways of Nature, and Camping and Tramping with Theodore Roosevelt.In 1873, Burroughs purchased a farm in the Hudson Valley town of West Park and built an estate called Riverby, where he continued to write and cultivate various crops. In 1895, he constructed Slabsides, a one-room Adirondack-style cabin used as a summer residence. Visitors to Slabsides included Roosevelt, naturalist John Muir, and industrialists Henry Ford, Thomas Edison and Harvey Firestone.
