Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, this print is part of a private collection. The image showcases a variety of elements from this historical period. In the foreground, military personnel can be seen guarding fortifications while biscuit boxes and ammunition boxes are scattered around. Horses graze nearby as Goorkha servants attend to their duties. In the distance, a war balloon hovers above, providing surveillance for naval officers who command guns on fortified ramparts.
