Very good copy of this rare book of Indian costume by Captain Robert Smith, 44th Regiment
Complete with 44 finely hand-coloured engravings of Indian men and women of all castes
Captain Robert Smith (1792-1882), was a soldier in the British line regiment H.M. 44th (East Essex) Foot, and served in India from 1825-33. He prepared an illustrated diary of Indian views from 1828-33 and drew various panoramas of Indian cities, all now in the Victoria and Albert Museum.
"The representations of Asiatic Costumes composing this collection are engraved from drawings taken during a short residence in India. Most of them were sketched from life; but, to make the series more complate, a few have been copied from drawings by a native artist. The short descriptions annexed to the several figures are chiefly from notes taken on the spot."
Includes a dozen fascinating depictions of dancing girls and boys and musicians from a Nautch party. Girls dance and sing to music from sarangi and tabla drums. The frontispiece shows a bhugteea (or bhugteeay) transvestite boy dancing. There are servants and tradesmen, nobles riding on elephants, British colonizers riding on sedan chairs, Sepoys, fakirs and Muslims, low-caste labourers and Brahmin.
List of plates: 1. B'hugtee'a or Dancing Boy. 2. Nautch (or Nantch), or Singing Girl. 3. Nautch girl, or Dancing Girl. 4. Nautch Girl, or Singing Girl. 5. Nautch Girl, or Singing Girl. 6.

The book is variously and erroneously attributed to the Scottish engineer of the same name, Captain Robert Smith (1787-1873) of the Bengal Engineers who served in India from 1805 to 1830*, and also Lt.-Col. Charles Hamilton Smith (1776-1859), the English soldier, antiquary and naturalist who never served in India**. [*Spiral Rare Books, **Metropolitan Museum of Art.]
Scarce. Copies held by the British Library, V&A, Wellcome Collection, Metropolitan Museum of Art, and universities of Glasgow, St Andrews, Edinburgh, Oxford, Cambridge.
