Description |
English: Watercolour with pen and ink of a view of Henzadah (now Hinthada) seen from the steamer from 'A Series of Views in Burmah taken during Major Phayre’s Mission to the Court of Ava in 1855' by Colesworthy Grant. This album consists of 106 landscapes and portraits of Burmese and Europeans documenting the British embassy to the Burmese King, Mindon Min (r.1853-1878).
The mission took place after the Second Anglo-Burmese War in 1852 and the annexation by the British of the Burmese province of Pegu (Bago). It was despatched by the Governor-General of India Lord Dalhousie on the instructions of the East India Company, to attempt to persuade King Mindon to sign a treaty formally acknowledging the extension of British rule over the province. The mission started out from Rangoon and travelled up the Irrawaddy (Ayeyarwady) to the royal capital at Amarapura. Grant (1813-1880) was sent as the official artist of the mission. In recognition of his skill, he was presented with a gold cup and ruby ring by the Burmese King. Grant wrote that: 'The town of Henzidah, which is two days steam journey from Rangoon, has little to distinguish it from any other Burman town, except that the buildings have the advantage of higher ground, and assume a more comfortable, dry, and wholesome appearance. A very distant view of the Arracan Hills was obtained after leaving this place.' |
