Description

A fine tinted engraving from the private publication “Zur Erinnerung an die Reise des Prinzen Waldemar von Preussen nach Indien 1844-1846”, (In Memory of the Journey of Prince Waldemar of Prussia to India in the Years 1844-1846) which was printed posthumously in two volumes in 1853. It was based on the diary, essays notes and letters left by the Prince. The engraving is by A. Haun, after Ferdinand Bellerman from the original work by Prince Wilhelm Waldemar of Prussia, printed by the Konigl Lith Institute in Berlin 1854. This engraving is titled “Moschee in Junpore” (Mosque in Jaunpur) and shows the 14th century Atala Masjid or Atala Mosque in Jaunpur, Uttar Pradesh, India. The view is of the imposing 22 meter high gateway. Prince Friedrich Wilhelm Waldemar, son of Prince Friedrich Wilhelm Karl of Prussia, visited Sri Lanka, India and Nepal in 1844-1846. As was the Prussian aristocratic custom, he joined the military and by 1838, he had risen in ranks to simultaneously become a Major in the Guard-Dragoons and Commander of the 3rd Guard Militia. In 1844, he was promoted to Colonel of the Guard Artillery Brigade. That same year, he joined Eduard Graf von Oriola, a former captain on the General-staff, and Lieutenant Albrecht Wilhelm von der Groeben on a tour of India. Prince Waldemar maintained a travelogue during his journeys composed of his diaries and sketches of Egypt, Iraq, India, Calcutta, Delhi, Lahore, Bombay, Nepal, and other locations.
Ferdinand Konrad Bellermann (1814 - 1889) was a German painter and naturalist, who is most famous for his scenes of Venezuela, which have been sold at Sotheby's.
The German (Austrian) painter, lithographer and etcher, August Haun (1815 - 1894), studied under Karl Blechen and August Wilhelm Schirmer. He first displayed his works at the annual Berlin Academy exhibitions from 1836, starting with landscape drawings and then proceeding to genre scenes, architectural pieces and romantic landscapes.
