Among Benjamin Wolff’s c.340 autograph drawings some 124 are copied after original drawings in The Asiatic Society (of Bengal) and registered as Hindostanske Antiqwiteter or as the portfolio label reads; Hinduiske Antiquiteter. Benjamin Wolff not only describes how they are executed but also after whom and in which connection; “They have been drawn on fine paper which was laid over the drawing and traced in pencil. Later they have been drawn in ink and laid down on firm paper […} The Original Drawings are commissioned by Col. Mackenzie, Surveyor General of India[..] He travelled a lot in this vast country and had in his service several draughtsmen, such as Gould, Newman, Mc Person et al. The originals are executed by them”. From various sources – drawn on site from journeys 1799–1825. Copied in The Asiatick/Asiatic Society 1822–1827.
