拍品專文

There is no entry in William's journal for 7 May 1792, the date of this sketch, but William mentions arriving at Ooria Durgum on the 6 May and leaving on the 8 May 1792. Of Ooria Durgum he says "Ooria Durgum is considerably higher than either of the above mentioned forts - it was under the care of a serjant of Capt Chases, who provided us with good quarters in the Pettah.'

There is a similar, but tighter sketch of the same subject in the India Office Library, see M. Archer, British Drawings in the India Office Library, London, 1969, vol. III, p. 589, no. 225.
