''Anglo-Indian Domestic Life: A Letter From An Artist In India To His Mother In England'' is a book written by Colesworthey Grant, an Anglo-Indian artist who lived in India during the 19th century. The book is a collection of letters written by Grant to his mother in England, describing his daily life, cultural experiences, and observations on Anglo-Indian society. The letters provide a unique perspective on the lives of Anglo-Indians, who were a small but influential community in colonial India. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the customs and traditions of India, the British Raj, the caste system, religion, and the role of women in society. It also includes illustrations and sketches by Grant, which add a visual dimension to his descriptions. Overall, ''Anglo-Indian Domestic Life'' is a fascinating and informative account of life in colonial India, written by an artist who was both an insider and an outsider in Anglo-Indian society.''This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
