Panoramic view of the Qutb Minar composed of two joined prints. A note in the text reads: 'The photograph was taken in two plates, the camera being raised upon its transverse axis to cover the upper part of the pillar. In order to avoid the distortion which is apparanet from looking at the photograph from any but the one right position, the eye should be thirteen inches from the paper and opposite to the fourth white dot above the plinth; the effect is then in true perspective.'
