- Scope & Content:

Tellicherry from the island of Darmadam, or Darmapattam. c.1790.
Inscription, overwritten on reverse: ‘Tellicherry from Durmapatam. Hills round Mahe. Charles Point. P[...] Church. Telly Fort House. Ghauts Calick Wells. A Bungalow built by Mr Falconer. Cochin Cundy Fort ditto by Mr Bailie. Codoly Fort. The entrance to the Dumapm & Codoly rivers’.
Water-colour; 22.5 by 38 cm.
Purchased 1993
Note: Tellicherry, founded in 1683, was the first regular settlement on the Malabar coast. The fort was completed in 1708 by the Kolattiri Rajah and handed to the EIC for the protection of their factory. In 1776 the factor was reduced to a Residency and in 1794 the factory was abolished by Sir John Shore. It has not been possible to identify Falconer and Bailie with certainty; an Alexander Falconer was in the Madras Civil Service at this period.
