Intended to give a fair impression of artistic endeavour of high quality and to bring to light historical material of great importance, this book presents the life and work of traveling artist and writer Egron Lundgren (1815-75). Well-known in Sweden for his watercolors depicting his exploits in India, this artist has remained relatively unknown internationally. Drawing from historical documentation, a wide selection of Lundgren’s watercolors, and his diary entries, this book delves into the exotic world of India that he experienced and captured for his Swedish audience as he was sent out to report on the uprising in 1857-8.
