Plates of Hong Kong and Calcutta. Andrasy's Ostindien contains a particularly beautiful set of plates of Hong Kong and Calcutta, elephant, rhinoceros, crocodile and tiger hunting. In 1849, when the Austrian General Windischgratz occupied Budapest, Andrasy escaped and set out on a long journey, visiting Bengal, Ceylon, Java and China's coastal towns. It was this description of these travels, together with his exquisitely detailed portrayal of subjects such as wildlife and hunting, which earned him his membership of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences in 1858.

First edition; large folio (61 x 45 cm), 16 hand-coloured lithographs partly finished by hand, lithographed by Cicéri and Adams after drawings by the author, printed by Lemercier in Paris, wood-engraved illustrations in the text, contemporary black half morocco gilt over publisher's blue pictorial cloth boards gilt, spine a little worn, a very good copy.

Bastin & Brommer 650; Bobins 221; Nissen ZBI, 111.
