拍品專文

Simpson was sent to Crimea in 1851, at the outbreak of the Crimean War, by Colnaghi and Son to make sketches of the campaign as the basis for lithographs. This led to a role with the as a foreign reporter for over twenty years. The Hill Fort of Daulatabad, in Maharashtra, India, has extraordinary underground tunnels carved out of the solid rock below the fort, leading to the citadel. In the 19th Century tourists could take guided tours of these, as depicted in the present drawing.
