Khoorshaid Munzil [Lucknow]. Photographer: Ali, Abbas
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Architectural Photography
General view of building, at this period a school: 'This building, as will be seen from the view, is castellated and surrounded by a deep scarped ditch; intended evidently for purposes of defence...As a contrast to the purpose that the Khoorshaid Munzil was probably intended to serve, and the demoniac purpose that it did attempt to serve [as a rebel stronghold during the Mutiny], it is now turned to a heavenly purpose: it is the Martiniere Girls' School; the scarped ditch is now a bright green lawn for the children's play-ground, the towers make airy bedrooms for the little girls, and all the inmates seem to be supremely happy.'
Subjects = British colonial architecture; education; European architecture in India; schools
