Description:
17th-19th Century Etching. This is an etching of a castle. It is an artist proof. There is a signature on the lower right, though I can't make it out. The lower left appears to say 'A Mosque at Monghyr.'

Monghyr is situated on the south bank of the Ganges River in Bihar. From the rule of Akbar in the late 16th century, Monghyr was controlled by the Mughal Emperors. However, Monghyr was also occupied by Mir Qasim, the Nawab of Bengal, during his conflict with the English in the second half of the 18th century.
