Zoungyan-doung, from the Steamer. Artist(s): Grant, Colesworthy (1813-1880)
- Scope & Content:
-
‘Zoungyan-doung, from the Steamer.’
FROM the frontier to this place, the scenery of the Irrawaddy, with its long range of densely clad hills on the west (whilst the eastern is low and frequently park like), always commanding admiration, continues imposing and beautiful. Its resemblance and frequent equality to that of the Rhone would be more apparent were the river not so wide as to separate the banks from each other, and the spectator, to a degree which greatly lessens the pictorial effect.
On approaching the village of Zoung-gyan Doung, the first halting place of the Mission in the Burman territories, the hills which had lined and beautified, with their purple masses, the western shore, began to recede, and very shortly after leaving this place, disappeared.
It was from one of the elevations at this spot that the view of the surrounding scenery is obtained, the romantic beauty of which so excited the admiration of Colonel Symes. A portion of the wooded Island of Loongyee is seen on the right of the sketch.
