The 'Pandeo Coolies', stone cyst graves near Chittoor. Copy of an original drawing by Major de Havilland
- Scope & Content:
-
(25) The 'Pandeo Coolies', stone cyst graves near Chittoor. 1817.
Inscribed on front in ink: ‘View of the Pandeo Coolies at near Chittoor, 1817. Copied from an original Drawing by Major De Havilland, 1817.’
This drawing was probably meant to accompany the research of James Lillyman Caldwell (1770-1863). In 1808 he and John Garrow excavated a 'Pandyan Coolie' burial site. An account of this excavation, dated November-December 1808, is in Mss Eur Mackenzie General I, ff.343-353, along with drawings of the pottery (f.355) and coins (f.357) that they unearthed.
Water-colour; 12 by 18 ins.
Note: Thomas Fiotte de Havilland (1775-1866) was a Madras engineer officer from 1793 to 1825. He became Civil Architect, Madras, in 1819.
