Old ruin at Masulipatam [inscribed in ink below].

J L Matheson(?) [signed in pencil lower right.]
[n.d., c.1850.]
Watercolour, sheet 210 x 260mm. 8¼ x 10¼".
Masulipatam in southern India was the first British trading settlement (1611) on the Bay of Bengal. From 1686 to 1759 the city was held by the French and Dutch, until it was finally ceded to the British, who captured the city and fort from the French in 1759. The ruined fort is still a point of interest.
