ELLIOT COLLECTION
Sir Henry Miers Elliot (1808-1853) went to India in the Bengal civil service in 1826 and was posted to Bareilly, Delhi, Moradabad and Meerut. In 1836 he was Officiating Secretary to the Sudder Board of Revenue, Allahabad, and in 1838 he became Superintendent of Revenue Surveys in the North-Western Provinces. In 1847 he was Secretary to the Governor-General in Council for the Foreign Department and in this capacity he went to the Punjab to negotiate a treaty with the Sikhs. He made great contributions to the ethnography of northern India and to the history of India during the Muhammadan period.

5 drawings of agricultural implements from the North-Western Provinces (U.P.). c.1838.
Pen-and-ink and wash.
Presented 27 March 1936.
These drawings have been abstracted from Mss Eur F56, Elliot's Settlement Book, relating to the settlement of Meerut and the ethnography of the North-Western Provinces. They were probably made for him by an Indian draftsman while he was Superintendent of Revenue surveys.
