| Description |
English: Ruins of the Palace, Madura [Madurai], drawn by Thomas Daniell and engraved by himself and William Daniell, published in Oriental Scenery (London 1797). Plate 17 from the second set of Thomas and William Daniell's 'Oriental Scenery.' The Daniell's commented about the state in which they found the palace of Tirumala Nayaka at Madurai, 'The ruins of the palace at Madura show evident marks of its former grandeur; many of the buildings appear to have suffered much by time, and not inconsiderably... by the destructive effects of war; a few, however, are sufficiently in repair to be converted into use by the garrison, as granaries, store-houses, powder magazines'. The engraved title Oriental Scenery: Twenty-four Views in Hindoostan [taken in the year 1792]; Drawn by Thomas Daniell and engraved by himself and William Daniell; and with permission respectfully dedicated to the Right Honourable Henry Dundas, one of His Majesty’s Principal Secretaries of State, President of the Board of Commissioners for the Affairs of India, Treasurer of the Navy, &c, &c. |
