Printed caption below reads: 'This fort, as it now stands, was principally built by Akbar, in the latter part of the sixteenth century, and is of great solidity and above a mile in circumference. It was taken by Lord Lake in 1803. It overlooks the Jumma, the bridge of boats overwhich, as also the railway station, are distinguishable in the plate.
