India – The Bridge at Juonpore, Bengal 1804 Print – hand coloured aquatint by T. Daniel & F.S. Ward, published July 21st 1804 by Edw. Orme, paper watermarked J, Whatman, depicting the 16th Century ridge crossing the Gomti River at Jaunpar. In 1803 Francis Blagdon said the following about this bridge ‘The sound principles upon which it was built are evident from its having withstood, for such a length of time, the force of the stream, which in the rainy season is very considerable. The inundations have frequently been known to rise even above the bridge, insomuch that in the year 1774, a whole bridge of British Forces passed over it in boats’, framed 61x51cm approx.
