The Passionate Quest: The Fraser Brothers in India by Mildred Archer and Toby Falk is a richly illustrated historical account of James Baillie Fraser and William Fraser, two Scottish brothers who lived and worked in India during the early 19th century. Drawing on their newly discovered diaries and letters, the book explores their experiences as a merchant and a British East India Company officer, including travels through the Himalayas during the Nepal War (1814–15). Featuring rare aquatints and watercolours commissioned from Indian artists, the book offers a vivid visual and narrative portrait of colonial life, Indian society, and Anglo-Indian interactions in Delhi and beyond.
