Printed caption below reads: The palace is surrounded by a magnificant wall, forty feet high and a mile in circumference, with two gateways and barbicans. Internally it was the most magnificant of all palaces in India, but most of the beautiful buildings which once adorned it have recently been demolished. Selimgurh is an antique fort, supposed to have been raised by an early Pathan sovereign, and is connected with the palace by a bridge.
