White marble monument over Lady Canning's Grave [Barrackpore]. Photographer: Saché, John Edward
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Architectural Photography
Close view of the tomb designed by Sir Gilbert Scott, with the River Hugli in the background. Note in Lady Bayley's hand on facing page reads: 'This beautiful tombstone was executed by Sir Gilbert Scott from a design drawn by Lady Waterford. It was of white marble inlaid with coloured marbles, a beautiful work of art. But the Italian marbles could not stand the excessive damp of the Calcutta climate and though several [?]defences were resorted to for protection, it was found impossible to keep the tombstone in order, so it was moved into a transept of the Cathedral in Calcutta as a monument to Lady Canning's memory, and a new tombstone, exact as a copy of it, executed in pure white Indian marble was erected over the grave, at the sole expense of Lord Northbrook, when Viceroy of India. '
