Description: | A hand-coloured print of a ferry on Fulta Ghat, Calcutta, from the Fiebig Collection: Views of Calcutta and Surrounding Districts, taken by Frederick Fiebig in 1851. This is a riverside scene at the ferry at Fulta Ghat (landing-stage), south of Calcutta. Fultha was the place where escapees from the 1757 Siege of Calcutta, managed to hide from the forces of the Nawab of Bengal (Siraj ud-Daula). They were rescued by Robert Clive after they had spent the rainy season hidden in boats on the river. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Subjects: | Hamlets Ghats Rivers Boats Villages Rowing Boats | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Fiebig, Frederick | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
