Description: | Plate forty-three from the second volume of James Forbes' "Oriental Memoirs". Forbes(1749-1819)was in Cambay in 1775 as part of the Maratha campaign in Gujarat, where his friend, Sir Charles Warre Malet (1752-1815)was English Resident. The context of the drawing is described here for us by Forbes himself: 'This drawing was made when the English detachment from Bombay accompanied Ragonath Row from Surat, and a tent was pitched for the reception of the Mahratta sovereign, between the city-walls and the sea, previous to his interview with the Nabob of Cambay. In the centre is the Jumma Musjid and fallen Minar.' | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Publisher: | Cochrane & Co. | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Forbes, James | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
