Lithograph of the Pagoda at Eden Gardens in
Calcutta by Vincent Robert Alfred Brooks (1814-85) one of 'Eight
views of Calcutta' published in London c.1870. Eden Gardens are
situated at the northern end of the Maidan. They were laid out in
1834 and named after Emily and Fanny Eden, the sisters to Lord
Auckland. Auckland was the Governor-General of India from
1836-1842. In 1840, Eden Gardens were formally opened to the public
and for many years they were a fashionable evening meeting-place in
Calcutta. The gardens are also home to the Calcutta Cricket Club.
The Pagoda, seen in this view, was brought from Prome in Burma by
Lord Dalhousie and erected in the gardens in
1854.
