Bombay. The E.I. Company warehouse is in the centre, the castle is on the right with Union Jack flying and a number of warehouse are on the left. The foreground is occupied by shipping with a large boat flying the Company's colours. Artist(s): Lambert,
- Scope & Content:
-
Bombay, c.1731
In the centre of the picture is a large white building, with a high gateway surmounted by a coat of arms; this seems to be ‘the Bunder or Company’s Warehouses’ marked in Grose’s map (about 1760). In front, a pier projects into the harbour. On the right stands the castle, with the Union Jack floating from the Flagstaff Bastion; on the left are a number of warehouses. The foreground is occupied by shipping; a large boat with a triangular sail, is flying the Company’s colours, a flag crossed by horizontal bars alternately red and white.
