Description: | Pencil and wash drawing of Pedanaikdurgum Ghat in Andhra Pradesh by Thomas (1749-1840) and William (1769-1837) Daniell, 21 April 1792. Inscribed on the front in pencil is: 'Buturhullee Ghaut'; on the back in ink: '22 Pedinaigdurgum' 'ghaut.'
The Pedanaikdurgum Pass runs through the Eastern Ghats and is guarded by a fort which was strategically important during the Anglo-Mysore Wars. British troops cleared the pass in March 1791 and camped here on the way from Amboor to Vencatighery where they were joined by a large force made up of approximately 5,000 men. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Daniell, Thomas (1749-1840), and Daniell, William (1769-1837 | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
