A rope bridge over a Himalayan river, the Fort Rouge at Calais and a palace near Bijapur show how David Cox’s designs reached readers through engraved books. A sea-coast scene and the Fort Rouge were published in the Galerie des Artistes Anglais in 1836, engraved by Robert Brandard and Samuel Fisher. The Indian group, in later impressions issued with The Indian Empire, shows the rope bridge at Tehri in Garhwal, the hill village of Jerdair and the Singham Mahal at Torway. The Tehri view derives from Cox’s drawing after a sketch by Commander Robert Elliot, published in the 1830s.
