The New Indian Council Chamber, 1858. Creator: Unknown
The New Indian Council Chamber, 1858. Meeting room in India House, London. View of...the chamber in which the new Council of India now holds its deliberations. On entering this apartment...there is some little evidence of the wealth and splendour of the great association of merchant princes. It is situated on the western side of the main entrance to the building in Leadenhall-street, and is a remarkably handsome and commodious room. It is spacious and lofty, and is lighted by three windows. It is said to form an exact cube of thirty feet. It is splendidly ornamented by gilding and large looking-glasses, and the effect of its too great height is much diminished by the position of the windows near the ceiling...Among the members which the artist has assembled at the Council, those who are acquainted with their persons will readily recognise Sir Frederick Currie, Captain Eastwick, Mr. Prinsep, Sir James Hogg, Sir Henry Rawlinson, Mr. Mills, Mr. Willoughby etc...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858
