Calcutta Gate and Main Guard, Fort William: Native Prisoners under Escort, 1857. Creator: Unknown
Calcutta Gate and Main Guard, Fort William, [Kolkata, India]: Native Prisoners under Escort, 1857....a native was tried for attempting to seduce the sepoys of the 70th Native Infantry in Calcutta from their allegiance, by holding out to them promises of arms, ammunition, and aid from 18, 000 of the native population...Many of the prisoners taken are priests among their people: if Mahometans, they are moulvies or hafiz; and, if Hindoos, they are Brahmins. The latter are distinguished by a slight thread which they wear round the neck, and sometimes hung over an ear...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1857
