Description:
Early aquatint view of the monument erected by Raffles for Lord Cathcart at Anjer-Lor, West Java, Indonesia. To avoid burial in shark-infested waters, he was interred in the morning of 16 June “to a salute of minute guns fired from the V’estal and of volleys of small arms.”[6] Before his companions returned to England, they built him a monument comprising a painted panel with Latin inscriptions, which was designed by Julius Caesar Ibbetson. The monument was built to commemorate Cathcart as “ordered by the Honorable Thomas Stamfort Raffles Lieutenant Governor of Java.”
