Shutter comes from the 'More Indian Views' series published by Bernard Jacobson in 1976 in an edition of 60 as one of five works in that portfolio. This series followed on from the first Indian Views series that Hodgkin completed in 1971 with Leslie Waddington. Hodgkin described these prints in the 1976 exhibition catalogue as being ‘…among the most literally representational works that I have produced and in format influenced by the shape and proportion of aeroplane windows and the windows of old fashioned Indian trains. They depict horizons, fields, mountains, skies, the sea and also different times of day.’
