West view of the 'City of the Dead' [Golconda]. From the Tomb of Kullee Kootub Shah. Photographer: Nixon, H. J.
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Architectural Photography
A similar view to print 6. 'At the risk of being considered monotonous in his subjects, the artist publishes this view. A glance at No. 6 will show that it was taken from the same position, since a portion of that view is contained in it. It is a continuation of the latter. The scenery to the right of it has a most beautiful and striking effect when viewed from the spot where this was taken. The scene, together with No. 5, was taken at sunrise, the latter when there was scarce sufficient actinic light to obtain a photograph; it is at this hour that the 'City of the Dead' can be seen to the best advantage.'
[Albumen print, 240x191mm].
Subjects = Indian architecture; Indian architecture (Islamic); tombs
