Tanjore Palace. Carvings on the north side of the quadrangle in front of the audience chamber. Photographer: Lyon, Edmund David
- Scope & Content:
-
Inscription: Numbered '403' in the negative
Genre: Architectural Photography
View looking across the court towards the façade of part of the Nayaka Palace at Tanjore (Thanjavur), showing balcony windows supported on elaborately carved brackets, over a blind arcade. Lyon's 'Notes to accompany a series of photographs prepared to illustrate the ancient architecture of Southern India' (Marion and Co., London, 1870), edited by James Fergusson, gives the following description of this photograph: '403 - The private Hall of Audience forms the west side of a square, the north side being occupied by the base of the curious pyramidal tower, here represented. Some parts of it have never been finished; in other places the arches have been bricked up, and the passages leading even to the principal state apartments are narrow and dark, and frequently also in a very dirty and dilapidated state. The two lower storeys shown in the Photograph are probably the oldest part of the palace now existing, and as originally erected were architecturally the best.' Another copy at Photo 1000/30(3052).
