This is the last cannon shown on the "Indian Artillery" page of "Pete's Blog", along with the blurb that goes with his photos.
"This is one of an identical pair of guns at Powis Castle, Powys, Wales. Clive’s eldest son married into the family in 1874. There are no details about it but it is Indian. No idea of its size. May well have been brought to England by the Clives. There is a Clive museum in the castle but it’s rubbish!!! You can’t take photos and there are no postcards or books about the collection whatsoever (which is not particularly extensive anyway)."
Wikipedia: "Major-General Robert Clive, 1st Baron Clive, KB (29 September 1725 – 22 November 1774), also known as Clive of India, was a British officer who established the military and political supremacy of the East India Company in Bengal. He is credited with securing India, and the wealth that followed, for the British crown. Together with Warren Hastings he was one of the key early figures in the creation of British India."
The Clive Museum (mentioned in the blog) houses artifacts that Robert Clive brought back to England from India.
These are Sotheby photos of an Indian cannon that realized £313,250 (
$509,524.66) at auction in Britain.
