Framed Print of The Victoria Memorial Hall was built between 1906 and 1921 and is dedicated to the memory of Queen Victoria

The Victoria Memorial Hall was built between 1906 and 1921 and is dedicated to the memory of Queen Victoria (1819-1901), Empress of India. The memorial was built in an Indo-Saracenic revivalist style and the architect was William Emerson (1843 - 1924).
The tax records of Mughal Emperor Akbar (1584-1598) as well as the work of a 15th century Bengali poet, Bipradaas, both mention a settlement named Kalikata (thought to mean Steps of Kali for the Hindu goddess Kali) from which the name Calcutta is believed to derive.
In 1690 Job Charnock, an agent of the East India Company, founded the first modern settlement in this location. In 1698 the company purchased the three villages of Sutanuti, Kolikata and Gobindapur. In 1727 the Calcutta Municipal Corporation was formed and the city's first mayor was appointed.
In 1756 the Nawab of Bengal, Siraj ud-Daulah, seized Calcutta and renamed the city Alinagar. He lost control of the city within a year and Calcutta was transferred back to British control. In 1772 Calcutta became the capital of British India on the orders of Governor Warren Hastings.
In 1912 the capital was transferred to New Delhi while Calcutta remained the capital of Bengal. Since independence and partition it has remained the capital and chief city of Indian West Bengal
