In 1784 Thomas Daniell obtained permission from the East India Company to travel to India to work as an engraver. He reached Calcutta in 1786 and soon began to issue the first topographical prints of the colonial capital. The twelve etched and aquatinted plates of “Views of Calcutta” were completed 1788, printed and stained in watercolour by Indian assistants. The images proved immensely popular in India where merchants and businessmen enjoyed the pictures as reminders of the country with which they had such lucrative connections [Abbey, Travel 492, nos. 7–12]
