Add.Or.4476-4489
14 drawings of animals including elephants, camels, nilgau, deer, sheep, goats, buffalo and a pangolin.
By a Calcutta artist at Meerut, c.1809-12.
Inscribed in pencil with details of origin and with measurements.
Pen-and-ink, wash and traces of water-colour; all originally from an album measuring 46.5 by 32 cm.
Purchased 1989
Note: Each drawing shows two similar views of the animals in full profile, one in outline only, the other with more surface detail. One or other of these versions has measurements marked (not recorded here). Although the compiler of this album remains anonymous, all the officers mentioned were in the 17th (Leicestershire) Regiment of Foot, which was first stationed in India from December 1804 until January 1823. It proceeded up-country from Fort William to Allahabad and Mathura, before being stationed at Meerut, where it is clear from the inscriptions that the drawings were done, from November 1809 to November 1812. The names mentioned in the inscriptions from the 17th Foot are Colonel Frederick Hardyman; Captains William Croker, A.D. Lee, and Edward Byrne; Lieutenants William Ross, John Stalkart, and Matthew Pickering; Paymaster Thomas Bourke and Surgeon Charles Corfield.
