Himalayas c1893 Watercolour by Sidney Burrard
Colonel, Sir Sidney Gerald Burrard 7th Baronet – View of the Himalayas c.1893
Watercolour on textured paper laid onto board, (no inscriptions).
Colonel, Sir Sidney Gerald Burrard 7th Baronet, KCSI, FRS (1860-1943) was a British army officer who served as Surveyor General of India and played a major role in the Great Trigonometrical Surveys’ work in the Himalayas and identified the source of errors resulting from the displacement of the plumbline by the gravitational attraction of the mountains.
In 1887 Burrard married Gertrude Ellen the daughter of the Superintendent of the Trigonometrical Survey, Major-General C.T. Haig. Burrard went on furlough in 1890 to England where his wife, an artist, spent time to study painting. During this time Burrard worked on a family genealogy.
Burrard later worked at a tidal observatory on the Red Sea. In 1899 he was appointed Superintendent of the Trigonometrical Survey and became a Surveyor General in 1908. He was made a Companion of the Order of the Star of India (CSI) in 1911 and promoted to Knight Commander of the Order of the Star of India (KCSI) in 1914. In 1913 he received the Victoria Medal from the Royal Geographical Society. Burrard helped to organize the Indian Science Congress.
Provenance: Part of the Burrard family collection of watercolours, including pictures of India and the Isle of Wight by Colonel, Sir Sidney Gerald Burrard 7th Baronet, KCSI, FRS (1860-1943) and his wife Gertrude Ellen Burrard (1860-1928). Also in the collection is a watercolour depicting the “London” and the “Marengo,” attributed to Admiral Sir Charles Burrard (1793-1870) and a Portrait engraving of The Rev. Sir George Burrard, BT (1769-1856), Royal Chaplain to Queen Victoria. We also have other family related prints and portraits.
