View of the Delhi palace from Metcalfe House. From the 'Metcalfe Album.'. Artist(s): Mazhar 'Ali Khan (fl.1840s)

-
View of the Delhi palace and Salimgarh with the connecting bridge, from the north.
Inscribed: ‘naqsha-i tripoliya va salimgarh va qil‘a-i shahjahanabad. Mazhar ‘Ali Khan.’
Note: The word ‘tripoliya’ seems to refer to the bridge connecting the two forts, although it has more than three openings. The view is probably taken from the Agency’s building at Ludlow Castle.
