- Cover photo description:
- In memoriam of the dead, the British erected a 15-metre 50` high obelisk; it now is in the graveyard of Anglican St. John`s Church, Calcutta. Holwell had erected a tablet on the site of the `Black Hole` to commemorate the victims but, at some point the precise date is uncertain, it disappeared. Lord Curzon, on becoming Viceroy in 1899, noticed that there was nothing to mark the spot and commissioned a new monument, mentioning the prior existence of Holwell`s; it was erected in 1901 at the corner of Dalhousie Square now B. B. D. Bagh, which is said to be the site of the `Black Hole
