An earthenware plate printed in blue underglaze.  As documented by Michael Sack, four source prints from Oriental Scenery by Thomas and William Daniell, in addition to the print for which the pattern gets its name, “View in the Fort, Madura” were used for this pattern. The following prints were used: “Ruins at the Antient City of Gour” (ruins to the left of the domed building), “View in the Fort of Tritchinopoly” (mountain in the background), and “The Punj Mahalla Gate, Lucnow” (elephant). An excellent example of a marked Herculaneum piece.
