- Title:
- View of the back entrance to the Summum Burj (the residence of the Gayawals), Gaya [Bihar]. 26 December 1824. Artist(s): D'Oyly, Sir Charles (1781-1845)
- Scope & Content:
- Pen and ink drawing by Sir Charles D'Oyly (1781-1845), of the view of the back entrance to the Summum Burj at Gaya in Bihar, from an album of 80 drawings of views in Bengal and Bihar taken between January 1823 and May 1825. The largest group of drawings consists of sketches made between 26 January and 27 February 1823 during a journey from Calcutta to Gaya (Bihar) along the 'New Military Road'. Another group, drawn between 18 December 1824 and 2 January 1825, were clearly made during a Christmas tour to Gaya when D'Oyly visited his friends George Proctor Beauchamp and Christopher Webb Smith. The 'New Military Road' passed through Manbhum district (Bihar) to Hazaribagh (Bihar) and through the hills to the N.W. to join the present Grand Trunk Road near Sherghati (Gaya district, Bihar). This image is the original drawing for plate 15 of 'Sketches of the New Road in a Journey from Calcutta to Gyah' (Calcutta, 1830).
