Dibrugarh in Assam, dated c.1848. The image is inscribed on the

Dibrooghur, Assam.' This view shows the Himalayas, 'the abode of
snow', the highest mountain range in the world, which is situated
between the Indus and Brahmaputra, 'son of Brahma', rivers. Assam
is famous for its tea plantations and Dibrugarh, situated on the
Brahmaputra river, is the biggest tea exporting city in India.

several generations. His father was William Prinsep, who worked for

James, a noted scholar, antiquarian and Assay Master at the Benares
and Calcutta Mints, and Thomas, Surveyor of the Sunderbunds, the
marshes near Calcutta.
