Description: | This lithograph derives from plate 10 from William Wood's 'Views of Calcutta'.
This view is the only one of Wood's series to show specifically Indian-style dwellings in Calcutta. They are near the first of the large 'tanks', or manmade reservoirs, on the edge of the Chowringhee district. The tanks were used as a general water-supply, for bathing and washing by the inhabitants of the city. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Publisher: | Wood, William senior | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Wood, William (fl. 1827-1833) | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
