"Bramins", issued Paris, 1719 by A.M.Mallet. This uncommon and charming early 18th century portrait of natives of India is by A.M. Mallet, the well traveled military engineer and geographer who worked in 17th century Paris under King Louis XIV. The man appears to be holding a drum of some kind, an Idol is seen in the distance. From his monumental "Description de L'Univers". 

Surely not a common view relating to India and very desirable thus. 

In near excellent antiquarian condition with attractive full hand color on a c. 5 5/8 " W x 7 7/8 " H sheet (image size is c. 4 1/8 " W x 5 5/8 " H).
