'Rival Candidates in Calcutta', 1813. A woman wearing a feathered hat, an allegorical figure representing India, is flattered by a European who holds her hand and makes eyes at her. His rival sits holding a fan and looking annoyed. In the foreground is a ballot box. Britain and France were rivals for control of India in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. 'Of Mr. Holland [the publisher] may be had a number of other East and West India Carictures'.
