The Eastern Bank above Mugway.. Artist(s): Grant, Colesworthy (1813-1880)
- Scope & Content:
-
‘The Eastern Bank above Mugway.’
REPRESENTS one amongst the many pictorial parts of the Irrawaddy’s bank. Bold, crag-like masses of sandstone, or sandy clay, cut into ravines, or water courses, by the rains, here and there enriched with patches of thick underwood, rise to a great height: and upon the ledges which their slopes present, little villages, or clusters of cottages, are perched, whilst, behind them, tall palmyras, from the most unlikely looking soil, shoot up into the air, and seem to belie the general aspect of sterility about them. (‘See Professor Oldham’s Report, pages 5 and 6, and Secretary’s Report, page 20.’)
