Thomas Daniell and William Daniell were amongst the first British painters who had enjoyed an education in classical landscape painting, and they had a flair for the Romantic. Their published views were popular but expensive – creating a new long lasting market for watercoloured views. These were drawn or traced in pencil on large Whatman paper, often in the aesthetic tradition of T. & W. Daniell and other British artists. Coloured in soft washes of cream, buff, blue and green by Indian artists and finally sold in sets. Several of the views and drawings in the Wolff collection bear a pencil annotation in the upper left corners, often two numbers -indicating that they may derive from the same source.
