-
Genre: Architectural Photography
View looking towards the gate of the fort at Rohtas. A note below the print reads: 'The old room above the gate is 63 feet long & was my dwelling house, office and hospital in 1856 for the hot weather. The Fort is several miles round & the wall often 30 or 40 ft thick. This fort was built by the conqueror Sher Shah, who drove the father of Akbar the great out of India & built this fort to prevent his return. Humayoon returned before it was ready and finished it for him. This now nearly in ruins'.
