Government House, Calcutta, sketched by one of our special artists, 1876. Creator: Unknown
Government House, Calcutta, sketched by one of our special artists, 1876. Government House...occupies the principal site in Calcutta. It faces the Maidan...The plan of it might be described as a quadrangle, but a St. Andrew's cross will convey a nearer notion of its true form. This arrangement was adopted with a view to ventilation. A quadrangle would have required a central court, while the form adopted leaves the whole open to any breath of wind which may chance to blow...The private gardens of the house are in front; and to the south of them, and in a line with the centre of Government House, stands the equestrian statue of Lord Hardinge [Governor-General of India]'. From "Illustrated London News", 1876
