THOMAS DANIELL and WILLIAM DANIELL 104 hand-coloured aquatint plates from the reduced Oriental Scenery , originally published in 1812, including the hand-coloured engraved title to volume VI [watermarked 'J. Whatman', dated between 1839-1849], modern ownership stamps on versos of each mount, one plate [21?] remounted on modern paper with loss of caption and rules (occasional light surface soiling to margins) Plate: 180 x 248mm Sheet: 270 x 365mm A fine set of the majority of plates from the small quarto issue of Oriental Scenery . First published in 6 volumes between 1812-1816, the Daniells produced this reduced version of their lavish folio edition of Oriental Scenery , available only to the wealthy, to meet a wider demand. The republication of the work was undertaken by Henry Bohn, Abbey noting that Bohn advertised a coloured version at £24 in c. 1838, that it was on sale as an implied remainder in 1841 for £6 6s., and still on offer as a remainder in 1858. The present set of plates lacks all but one of the engraved titles and the 8 plans, but comprises the majority of the series of 144 views, lacking plates 3, 16-17, 20, 29, 31, 38, 44-47, 49, 53, 56, 65, 78-79, 87, 96, 102-105, 107, 110-114, 117, 119, 123, 127-129, 138-142, 149.
