Daniel Ritchie’s watercolours sketches
Daniel Ritchie’s series of watercolours of people and landscape provide the researcher with an illustrative record of Ritchie’s sea journeys through the Mediterranean, England, Australia and the West Indies. They depict his first-hand encounters with local custom and place.
A complete catalogue of the watercolours can be found in the Ritchie Family and Business Papers.
