Indian Watercolours painted by a Member of the British Raj in India

7 small water colours painted during the days of the British Raj in India which capture the spirit of an excursion taken in December 1890. A flat bottomed wooden boat manned by local men travels along a river carrying a couple in western dress, elephants emerge from the lush vegetation carrying travellers and lunch supplies, camp tents nestle among the trees, elephants take their passengers across a river and high, possibly Himalayan mountains tower over lush lowlands. All dated December 1890 and one Xmas Day 1890. An additional later image dated July 29 91 is titled ‘My Ayah having a cigarette!!’ Frustratingly what appears to be the name of the artist to the fore edge of several images is difficult to decipher [Gordon Youngs ?]. To the reverse of 2 paintings are additional images - a lady in western clothing fishing with a local man titled ‘landing the sixteen pounder’ and a black ink drawing of what must be a school scene titled ‘Prize Giving Mar 10.91’. All in very good condition on high quality water colour boards; colours remain vibrant. A visual insight into an historical period with a complex history.
