Description
William Pitt Amherst, 1st Earl Amherst, Governor-General of India, 19th century. Amherst (1773-1857) was sent as Ambassador to China in 1816, but as he refused to perform the ceremony of kow-tow, which Europeans considered degrading, he was not permitted to enter Peking. Pitt was Governor-General of India from 1823-1828, and was created Earl Amherst of Arakan in 1826. (Photo by The Print Collector/Print Collector/Getty Images)
