| Description |
English: Watercolour in pen and ink of the west gate and city walls of Amarapura.
This view was taken from the terrace of Mr. Spear’s residence, and overlooked the broad moat, - the causeway or bridge which crosses it, and the western gate in the wall of the City, which on the exterior appeared to be about 17 or 18 feet in height...The gateway is honorably surmounted by a triple-roofed covering, - serving as ornament to the gate and protection to warders or sentries. The King’s Palace is seen rising from the centre of the city, and on the extreme left appears the triple-roofed and apparently tiled dwelling of the Ein-she-men or Crown Prince. The Mountains to the East of Umeerapoora close in the back ground. |
