Pen-and-ink and wash drawing of a scene at Bhimgoda near Haridwar in Uttar Pradesh, dated February 1847. The image is inscribed on the front in watercolour; 'Bhimnoda near Hurdwar. Feby, 1847'. Bhimgoda Tank is one of the many sacred lakes in the region. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sir_Henry_Rawlinson,_1st_Baronet" class="extiw" title="w:Sir Henry Rawlinson, 1st Baronet">Sir Henry</a> served with the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bengal_Engineer_Group" class="extiw" title="w:Bengal Engineer Group">Bengal Engineers</a> in India from 1840 to 1862.
