[The Shore Temple, Mamallapuram.] Photographer: Unknown
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Architectural Photography
Looking towards the two main pagodas of the 8th-century Shore temple. With the sea at the right. A modern note on the mount identifying the photographer as Alexander Rea is unconvincing. The prints appear to date from the 1860s (or possibly 1870s); Rea did not arrive in India until 1882. A view of the temple from a similar viewpoint, by an unidentified photographer, is laid down onto the frontispiece of M.W. Carr (ed), Descriptive and historical papers relating to the Seven Pagodas on the Coromandel Coast (Madras, 1869).
Subjects = Indian architecture; Indian architecture (Hindu); temples
