Part of the Palace in the Fort of Allahabad.
No.VIII. PART OF THE PALACE IN THE FORT OF ALLAHABAD.
This building, composed chiefly of freestone, was erected by the Emperor Akbar; the pillars are richly ornamented, and the whole executed in a masterly style. In the centre of the terrace, on the top of the building, stood a turret of white marble, very elegantly finished, which was taken down by order of the Nabob of Oud, and sent to Lucknow in the year 1789.
Since this view was drawn, the Nabob of Oud has ordered the whole of the building to be taken down and carried to Lucknow, with the intention, it is said, to be again erected in that city: a circumstance much to be lamented, as the abilities of modern workmen are by no means equal to a task so difficult and so extraordinary as the separating, removing, and again uniting the materials of so excellent a structure.
