Summary "Through India and Burmah with Pen and Brush" by A. Hugh Fisher is a travelogue written in the late 19th century. This work combines descriptive writing with personal sketches and illustrations, offering an account of the author’s experiences and observations while travelling through India and Burma. It aims to capture the beauty and diversity of these regions, likely appealing to readers interested in travel, culture, and art. The opening of the travelogue introduces the reader to a tumultuous sea journey to Rangoon during the rice harvest season. Fisher vividly describes the discomforts faced by the passengers, particularly the hundreds of Indian coolies fleeing the rain. He paints a picture of the varying individuals on the ship, detailing his conversations with a few, including a Hindoo couple on their way for work, and a characteristically lively scene aboard a crowded vessel. As he arrives at Rangoon, Fisher's observations detail the lush and vibrant landscapes, along with his first impressions of the city, setting the stage for the adventures and cultural explorations that follow in the subsequent chapters.
