"The Writers' Buildings, Calcutta" is an aquatint engraving by Thomas Daniell, an English landscape painter. Created in 1786, this piece is part of a larger body of work that Daniell and his nephew William produced during their time in India. The aquatint depicts the Writers' Buildings in Calcutta, which served as the office for the writers of the British East India Company, referring to the junior clerks and employees. The building is an important example of colonial architecture in India and has since become an iconic landmark in Kolkata, formerly known as Calcutta.

Thomas Daniell, along with William, arrived in India in 1786 and spent the following years traveling and documenting the landscape, architecture, and culture of the subcontinent through their art. Their work was instrumental in shaping the European view of India during the 18th and 19th centuries. "The Writers' Buildings, Calcutta" is particularly significant as it captures the early stage of the British imperial presence in India, reflecting both the grandeur and the administrative power of the East India Company.

The aquatint is characterized by its meticulous detail and the use of light and shade to create depth, a technique that Thomas Daniell mastered during his career. The artwork serves not only as a historical record but also as an example of the artistic achievements of the Daniells during their Indian sojourn. Today, the piece is valuable for scholars interested in colonial history, British-Indian relations, and the development of landscape art in India. It is also of interest to those studying the evolution of Kolkata and its architectural heritage.
