Antiquities of Dacca was evidently produced over a number of years as the prints range in date from 1814 to 1827 and is the only set of views of Dhaka from the early nineteenth century.

A British trading post was established at Dacca in East Bengal (now Dhaka, Bangladesh) in the 17th century. The city was a capital of Mughul viceroys and governors. Sir Charles D’Oyly Bart. (1781-1845) had his first opportunity to study Indian rather than British buildings when he became Collector of Dacca in 1808. Previously D’Oyly had been taught by the great artist, George Chinnery, in Calcutta. He later became the centre of a fashionable group devoted to drawing. A man of boundless energy, he was also a satirical observer of Anglo-Indian life. Between 1821 and 1832 when D'Oyly lived in Patna, travellers up the Ganges would stop there and spend lively evenings at his house, admiring his drawings and dining well.
