Genre/Subject Matter:
This architectural view of a large, recently-constructed complex of three buildings likely depicts a British residency or agency, although its precise location is unknown. Dates and photographer can also not be ascertained, however, it can be construed that the photograph dates from the latter half of the 19th c.
The buildings are fronted by a series of faux romanesque arches of varying sizes and intervals, with two two-light, roundel-capped arches at either end of the largest, central structure.
