The Main Street of Agra, 1858. Creator: Unknown
The Main Street of Agra, 1858. This city, once the capital of India, is now much decayed, and consists of little more than this one street, running parallel to the Jumna, the rest being mere mud hovels. From the river it must formerly have presented a very striking appearance, being lined with palaces of the nobles, built during the reign of the great Acbar. Their ruins are still massive and imposing; and some tombs, in good preservation, are models of beauty, both in construction and material...The civil and military lines of the Europeans adjoined the city, but were entirely destroyed when the mutiny broke out, and the whole of the Christian population had to take refuge in the fort, where they were confined for some time, and their fate would have been watched with interest but for the superior claims of Delhi and Lucknow'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858
