Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: Pen and ink drawing, by Sir Charles D'Oyly (1781-1845), of an encampment at Bishnupur in Bengal, from an album of 80 drawings of views in Bengal and Bihar taken between January 1823 and May 1825. Bishnupur, the former capital of the Malla rulers of Bengal, is famous for its terracotta temples and a ruined fort with stone entrance gateways. This image is from the largest group of drawings in the album, consisting of sketches made between 26 January and 27 February 1823 during a journey from Calcutta to Gaya (Bihar) along the 'New Military Road'. This road passed through Manbhum district (Bihar) to Hazaribagh (Bihar) and through the hills to the N.W. to join the present Grand Trunk Road near Sherghati (Gaya district, Bihar). Begun in 1782, it had semaphore signalling towers built along it in the early years of the 19th century. |
