- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Architectural Photography
Letterpress description reads: 'This picture represents the tomb of Muhammad Ghaus, a well-known Muhammadan saint and a contemporary of Babar, Humayun and Akbar. The tomb stands about a quarter of a mile to the east of Gwalior Fort and is an interesting example of Early Mughal Tomb Architecture. On plan it is a square measuring 100 feet each way exclusive of the hexagonal towers which are attached to the angles. The chamber of the tomb itself is a hall 43 feet square with the angles cut off by pointed arches so as to form an octagon on which the dome rests. Around this square building is a gallery 20 feet wide enclosed on two sides by a screen of the most exquisite tracery in pierced stone work with a projecting porch on each face'.
