The riverfronts of India and the English coast at Folkestone meet in these prints by Thomas Shotter Boys (1803–1874), the watercolour painter and lithographer. They are engraved reproductions after his designs, including illustrations for R. Montgomery Martin's The Indian Empire of 1858: Agra seen from the Zahara Bagh, the ghats and a Hindu temple at Benares, now Varanasi, and ruins on the southern side of old Delhi. The Folkestone views come from a Finden publication of 1842, and Boys's drawing credit appears alongside the names of engravers such as W. J. Cooke.
