About the Item

Title: Engraving of Hindu Pagoda on Malabar Coast, Antique Temple Print Description: This elegant antique print, titled "Temple ou Pagode des Gentils de la côte de Malabar," was created by French naturalist and explorer Pierre Sonnerat in 1782, as part of his seminal work "Voyage aux Indes Orientales et à la Chine." The engraving, executed by Jean-Baptiste Marie Poisson, depicts a Hindu temple, or pagoda, on the Malabar Coast of India, a region known for its rich cultural and religious heritage. The temple features a distinctive dome-shaped vimana (tower) with intricate detailing, typical of South Indian architecture, and is surrounded by a fortified wall with a decorative pattern. The structure is elevated on a platform with steps leading to the entrance, and a large rectangular tank or sacred pool is depicted in the foreground, often used for ritual purification in Hindu temples. The copperplate engraving technique captures the fine architectural details, showcasing the skill of 18th-century European printmaking. Sonnerat's work is notable for its early documentation of Indian religious sites, providing a historical glimpse into Hindu temple architecture as observed during the colonial era. This print is particularly fascinating for its portrayal of the Malabar Coast's spiritual landscape, reflecting the region's importance as a center of trade and culture in the Indian Ocean. The page number "62" and the signatures "P. Sonnerat pinx." (painted by) and "Poisson sc." (engraved by) confirm its authenticity. A valuable piece for collectors of antique prints, architectural art, or those interested in the historical study of Indian temples and European ethnographic perspectives. Condition Report: The print shows light age-toning with minor foxing along the edges. The central image is intact with no major damage. Overall, in good condition for its age. Framing Tips: Use an acid-free mat to prevent discoloration, and choose UV-protective glass to avoid fading. A classic wooden frame with a subtle gold accent enhances the print's antique style. Ensure the print does not touch the glass directly.
