Summary

edit
Description
English: Watercolour with pen and ink of the south-west corner of the city walls of Amarapura. Each corner of the city wall was distinguished by a pretty lofty pagoda, and triple roofed covering; the angle here represented being improved and beautified by a line of massive palm trees skirting the interior; - but in both this and other instances the effect is destroyed by the presence of some rustic and shapeless hovel half in ruins. The moat here ceases, - a great portion of the southern side, the right of the pagoda, being skirted at no great space, by the lake Taungthaman.
