Description |
English: Plate 14. Interior of the Residency Billiard Room. The Billiard-room was in the upper or third story of the Residency, and so unfortunately situated that round shot and shell could enter it from both sides. It was consequently sadly dilapidated. The table itself was knocked to pieces. It was an old wooden one, that had been handed over by each departing Resident to his successor for the last half-century. How little any of them anticipated what would be the ultimate fate of the ancient piece of fioriture. From the verandah a magnificent view, only second to that from the turrets of the building, is obtained of the “ Ohata Munzil ” and the surrounding city. |
