editDescriptionBelvedere House Alipur Calcutta (Kolkata) by William Prinsep 1838.jpg |
English: "Belvedere House Alipur Calcutta (Kolkata)," by the Anglo-Indian merchant and amateur painter William Prinsep. From the British Library: "Charles Robert Prinsep was living at Belvedere in 1838 when this drawing was probably made. The Prinsep family bought the house in 1841 and sold it to the East India Company in 1854. It was then used as the official residence of the Lieutenant-Governors of Bengal and subsequently became the National Library." Charles Robert Prinsep, standing counsel to the British East India Company, and sometime Advocate General of Bengal (1846, 1849, and 1852-1855), was also an active investor in Australia. He purchased the Belvedere Estate in Western Australia in 1838 to breed cavalry remounts for the Indian army.[1] Singapore's Prinsep Street is named for Charles Robert Prinsep, who owned the land which was once part of the Prinsep nutmeg estate, totaling some 6,700 trees. |
