Group of Tombs in the 'City of the Dead', Golconda. Photographer: Nixon, H. J.
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Architectural Photography
View looking towards two tombs, the further one being that of Muhammad Quli Qutb Shah. 'The tombs represented in this photograph are situated a little to the north-east of the tomb of Sultan Ibrahim. There is such a sameness in the architecture of the domed tombs of Golconda, as can be seen in the general view, No. 10, that the artist fears that the pictures would appear too monotonous, were he to publish all the photographs he has taken of them; but, should any party wish to possess every individual tomb in Golconda, the artist can supply them, as he has taken every inch of the 'City of the Dead' on a set of 75 stereoscopic plates, which he will be very happy to dispose of, together with about 250 more of the same class of negatives (stereoscopic), representing Indian life and scenery in different parts of the country, and which are not inferior to the present collection that he publishes, either as regards the quality of the negatives or the subject-matter on them. Address - Secunderabad, Deccan.'
