The Shalimar Gardens, Sreenuggur. Photographer: Clarke, Melville
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Architectural Photography
View looking towards one of the pavilions in the Shalimar Gardens. Caption note continues: 'The exquisite creation of Imperial luxury! Here pavilions, fountains, and canals harmoniously blend with the magnificent foliage of the vast plane trees. The decay of ages has stealthily crept over the finished workmanship, till but a faint trace of former grandeur remains to modern eyes. Calmer times, however, will not fail to induce the restoration of its pristine magnificence, while literature forever preserves to memory its romantic history.'
Subjects = Clarke, M., 'From Simla through Ladac and Cashmere' (1862); gardens; Indian architecture; Indian architecture (Islamic); Mughal gardens; pavilions
