Framed Print of Fortress of Gwalior, 1857. Creator: Unknown
Fortress of Gwalior, [India], 1857. The fort of Gwalior, the capital of Scindia's possessions, stands on a rock of sandstone... It is very ancient...it was here that Akhbar, in 1556, confined, and subsequently put to death, his first cousin, Abulkasim.... It subsequently changed hands, and in 1779 was garrisoned by Scindia, from whom it was taken by the forces of the East India Company, on the 3rd August, with little trouble and small loss...Transferred by the British Government to the Rana of Gohud, it was in 1784 recovered by Madhaji Scindia, from whom it was again taken in 1803, but restored in 1805... subsequently to the battle of Maharajpoor, it was occupied by the Gwalior contingent, commanded by British officers; and thus has virtually been placed within the power of the British Government. It has been determined that no farther repairs shall be made to the fort'. From Illustrated London News, 1857.
