On 5th September 1799 Samuel set off for South Africa, on board HMS Lancaster, in the suite of Sir George Yonge, Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the region. They stopped at Madeira, leaving Funchal on 11th October and arriving at the Cape of Good Hope on 10th December. He returned to England in 1803 and immediately began work on publishing his celebrated African Scenery and Animals. In 1806 he set off once more, this time, for Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), where he remained until his early death in 1811. The Pico, or St John the Baptist Fort was built in the early 17th Century on the hills above Funchal and is one of the key landmarks of the Island. It was built to form part of Madeira's defence system against frequent attacks by the Corsairs. A print after Daniell of Funchal from the sea is dated 1806. Another view of Funchal by Daniell was sold at Sotheby's on 12th April 1995, lot 172 (£8,500 hammer).`

FIRST EDITION OF DANIELL S VERY RARE WORK ON CEYLON (MODERN SRI LANKA). - The Finest Work on Animals of Ceylon Ever Published - Daniell was the master of aquatint. Thomas Sutton describes Daniell's work in Ceylon as being "of such clarity and outstanding merit," praising the "full control over his medium, freshness of approach; his composition and color are full of beauty; his animals delicately drawn." Samuel Daniell, artist and traveler, was born into a distinguished family of artists that included his brother William Daniell (1769-1837) and uncle Thomas Daniell (1749-1840). Like his older brother, Samuel Daniell cultivated an interest in travel and natural history, which led to his visiting the Cape of Good Hope during the first British occupation of that colony in 1799. After a prolonged stay in Africa from 1799 to 1805, Daniell journeyed to Ceylon, where he lived until his death in Galle in 1811. The magnificent views include Trincomale, "Between Galle & Mattura", the ferry at Caltura, the fishing cove near Columbo, as well as fine portraits of people and animals. Daniell had a varied career in Ceylon: first as Secretary to the Board of Revenue and Commerce, and then as Ranger of Woods and Forests. Both jobs were highly suited to the artist and enabled him to travel extensively about the island, giving plenty of opportunity to sketch much of the local culture, flora and fauna. It is presumed that Daniell s watercolor sketches were sent to his brother, William Daniell, to engrave and publish. REFERENCES: T.

Four Aquatints from Samuel Daniell's African Scenery and Animals - Klip Springer, Hippopotamus, African Rhinoceros, & African Hog

DANIELL, Samuel (1775-1811). The Klip Springer, The Hippopotamus, The African Rhinoceros, The African Hog. 4 aquatint engravings with original hand color. London, 1805 from African Scenery and Animals. 17" x 22 1/2" sheet, 27" x 32 1/2" framed, each. The Finest Depictions of African Animals. These stunning hand-colored aquatints are from Samuel Daniell's "African Scenery and Animals", which has been called "the scarcest and most valuable of the large atlas folios of South African illustrations." (Mendelssohn). "Unable to make a living as a landscape painter in London, Daniell travelled to the Cape of Good Hope in 1799 in the suite of Sir George Yonge, governor and commander-in-chief at the Cape. His subsequent friendship with Lieutenant-General Francis Dundas resulted in his appointment as secretary and draughtsman to a mission to visit the country of the Booshuanas (Bechuanaland) under Mr Truter and Dr Somerville, in October 1801, to purchase cattle to replace those lost in the Cape Frontier War. During the perilous 700 mile trek to Lataku, the seat of King Mooliahaben of the Booshuanas, Daniell made a large number of drawings of the landscape, the wild animals, and the inhabitants of the interior. The full account of this journey is given as an appendix to Sir John Barrow's Voyage to Cochin China (1805), in which four engravings after Daniell's drawings are included. A year later the second edition of Sir John Barrow's Travels into the Interior of South Africa included eight engravings, by Thomas Medland, after Daniell's drawings. Daniell returned to England in 1803 and immediately began to work up his drawings for publication in his most important work African Scenery and Animals" (Charles Greig for DNB).

Attributed to Samuel Daniell (British 1775-1811) Attributed to Samuel Daniell (British 1775-1811) Portrait of Man, probably from Bechuanaland, Southern Africa Watercolour 14.3 by 13 cm.; 5 ⅝by 5 in. All unframed Samuel was the younger brother of William and nephew of Thomas Daniell. As a result of his interest in natural history and travel, he left England for the Cape of Good Hope soon after the British occupation of the Colony, arriving in December 1799. In 1801 he was appointed by Lieutenant General Dundas as secretary and draughtsman to Truter’s expedition to explore the region north and east of the Cape Colony, then called Bechuanaland, in the area of the Moloppo and Kuruman rivers (now Botswana borders). Daniell’s own claim to fame on this expedition was his discovery of the source of the Kuruman river, one of the natural wonders of Southern Africa. During his stay in South Africa he made numerous sketches which were used to illustrate his celebrated work, African Scenery and Animals at the Cape of Good Hope which he co-published with his brother William, in 1804. After his death, further engravings based on his drawings were published including, Sketches representing the Native Tribes and Scenery of Southern Africa, in 1820. His work, in both his finished watercolours and sketches, broke away from the topographical style of his family. In his figure drawing, use of colour and original composition his work is considered to be the best of the family.
