S. E. view of the Board of Trade and Customs House, the Beach, Madras. Artist(s): Gantz, John (1772-1853)
- Scope & Content:
-
S.E. view of the Board of Trade and Customs House, the Beach, Madras, 1824.
Inscribed on front in ink: ‘John Gantz. 1824’; on back in pencil: ‘S.E. view of the Custom House & Board of Trade Madras’; in ink: ‘J. Strachan Esq.’
Water-colour; 11.25 by 19 ins.
Purchased 1927.
Foster Catalogue, no.671.
Note: This picture and WD2453, apart from minor details such as the position of the barrels and flag, are identical with WD1362 and 1363 painted 1822. There seems little doubt that John Gantz produced standard topographical drawings for sale to Europeans in Madras, making in some cases several versions of the same subject.
