| Creator | Herschel; John (1837-1921); British army officer and astronomer |

| Description | Landscape showing a pillared verandah in Roorkee, India, from the interior looking outward. There is a covered doorway to the left as viewed, and unidentified equipment, including a bamboo pole, leaning against one pillar. A domed building can be seen in the far distance, possibly Thomason College of Civil Engineering, Roorkee.

The accompanying note [HS/2/1/16] characterises this as a 'rough Camera sketch', presumably taken by camera lucida, therefore. |
