Simla Prospect Point, Boileau Gunge, Bentinck Castle, the Suddur Bazaar and unfinished church.

On the hill immediately above it is the observatory, the residence of Colonel Boileau, a keen astronomer and the architect of Simla's Christchurch. Views in the Himalayas, drawn on the spot by Mrs. W. L. L. Scott. [Lithographed.]. London : Henry Graves & Co., 1852. Lithograph. Source: X670(4). Language: English.
