Description: | This is plate 6 from William Hodges' book, 'Select Views in India'. Gwalior had been the capital of an influential state and was renowned for its huge fortress, built on a narrow and long rocky hill of sandstone. The fortress, with its impressive line of battlements and bastions, was considered impregnable until 1780, when a small group of British soldiers scaled the walls during the night and captured it. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Publisher: | Hodges, William | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Hodges, William (1744-1797) | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
