Illustration of the opening scene from the Rudyard Kipling novel, Kim:

"He sat, in defiance of municipal orders, astride the gun Zam-Zammah on her brick platform, opposite the old Ajaib-Gher - the Wonder House, as the natives call the Lahore Museum. Who hold Zam-Zammah, that 'fire- breathing dragon,' hold the Punjab, for the great green-bronze piece is always first of the conqueror's loot."
