DESCRIPTION

Having depicted the palace from the top of the Lahore Gate (see fig. 28), Sita Ram turned himself round and produced this view of the Chandni Chowk with the canal depicted running down the middle, and the Jama Masjid immediately (and wrongly) adjacent to the south. Lady Hastings' procession of elephants is heading along the street. Watercolor, 35.2 x 51.3 cm. British Library, London, Add.Or.4827.
