Description: | This coloured aquatint was made by Robert Havell and Son from plate 10 of JB Fraser's 'Views in the Himala Mountains'. It shows a detachment of William Fraser's 'Irregulars' crossing the River Tons - a tributary of the Yamuna - by means of a harness dangling from a rope. Crossing rivers in the Himalayas was always a hazardous undertaking as the waters from the mountains were often raging torrents. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Publisher: | Rodwell & Martin | Rights holder: | British Library | Subjects: | Rivers Bridges Rope Bridges | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Fraser, James Baillie | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
