Calcutta - Arrival of the new Governor-General, 1844. Creator: Unknown

Calcutta - Arrival of the new Governor-General, 1844. The view here given of Calcutta is taken from the water-gate of Fort William, and exhibits the face of the town, just as it strikes the visitor for the first time, on the vessel rounding a reach close to the fort. In our engraving, the steamer, with Sir H. Hardinge on board, on the 23rd of July last, has just left the reach astern. The domed edifice in the centre of the town is the Government House, and the column to the spectators extreme right, beyond the ramparts, is the Ochterlony pillar - so called from its having been built to commemorate the public virtues of the late General Sir David Ochterlony. The rest of the edifices are the Supreme Court, the Town Hall, and a variety of private residences. Fort William, to the right, is garrisoned by one of the European regiments in her Majestys service. From " Illustrated London News", 1844, Vol V
