Description: | An aquatint of the barracks at Fort Charlotte in Nassau. Fort Charlotte was built in the mid- eighteenth century and was named after Queen Charlotte, the wife of King George III. Its 500 troops were housed in a large building, amply ventilated by the fresh winds blowing across its hillside location. Mortality rates amongst the soldiers were consequently lower than in some of the more crowded barracks in the West Indies. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Publisher: | Harding, Edw. | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Irving, John | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
