View of Bahia from the Public Gardens, 1864. The domed edifice shown on the right is the church of the Benedictine convent; the opera-house appears near the middle of the view; the arsenal, distinguished by a tall chimney, and the custom-house, with projecting pier, are seen below. Fort Gamboa and the adjacent waters, in which the ships of war lay anchored, would be farther to the left hand. From "Illustrated London News", 1864.
