Everard Cotes

Everard Cotes, often listed as Everard Charles Cotes, was a British journalist and author associated with India in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Available sources point to a career in journalism and editing, including work connected with The Pioneer in Allahabad, and later to writing on travel, history, and public life.

He is also linked with museum and cultural work in Calcutta, which helps explain the broad range of subjects in his books. His writing includes titles such as Down Under with the Prince, and the surviving descriptions of his work suggest a writer interested in observation, empire, and the places and institutions around him.

Some biographical details are hard to confirm cleanly from the sources I could verify here, so this overview keeps to the broad outline. No suitable confirmed portrait image was available from the pages I checked.
