Duftoree, or Native Office-keeper, 1857. Creator: Unknown.

Duftoree, or Native Office-keeper, 1857. 'The Duftoree is a sort of office- keeper, attending to those general matters of an Indian office which do not come within the notice of the keranee or clerk, such, for instance, as making pens, keeping the inkstands in order, ruling account-books, and perhaps binding them; preparing and trimming the lights, setting the penknives, together with a variety of other little matters'. Engraving '...copied from drawings by native artists, some on ivory, others on talc. They are in the possession of Messrs. Smith and Co., of Leadenhall-street, and are for sale. They are sixty in number, and are very curiously and elaborately painted...[They depict] a variety of characters and incidents in Indian native life...which will almost speak for themselves'. From "Illustrated London News", 1857.
