Description: | A Hand-coloured print of the Government House at Barrackpore, from the Fiebig Collection: Views of Calcutta and Surrounding Districts, taken by Frederick Fiebig in 1851. Barrackpore, north of Calcutta along the Hooghly river, was founded in 1775 as a cantonment. The Government House, designed by Captain Thomas Anbury in 1813 was used as a country residence for the British Governor-Generals. This is a view from the south-west of Government House (Barrackpore House) at Barakpur. It is now used as a hospital. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Fiebig, Frederick | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
