Description: | This etching was taken from plate 3 of Charles D'Oyly's 'Antiquities of Dacca'.
Paugla Pool was a famous bridge erected in the 17th century, but ruined by the time D'Oyly or his co-author James Atkinson saw it. Atkinson wrote of this image: " part of the city of Dacca is seen in the distance, under an effect of light, and shade which was studied on the spot. The far-off white houses of the European inhabitants, when illuminated by a partial gleam of sun-light, form a sparkling contrast to the broad masses and dark foliage of the fore-ground, and the romantic ruins of the bridge." | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Publisher: | Landseer, John (1769-1852) | Rights holder: | British Library | Subjects: | Rivers Lakes Cartography And Topography Architecture Rivers and waterways | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | D'Oyly, Sir Charles (1781-1845) | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
