[Original caption] Madras. Chepauk Palace. This handsome building of Moorish style was once the property of the Nawabs of the Carnatic, but on the death of the last ruler the property lapsed to the Crown and is now used as the offices of the Board of Revenue. A statue of Queen Victoria faces the Palace, being a replica of the Boehm Jubilee statue at Windsor. It was presented to the city by the Rajah of Vizagapatam. [end]
