Views in Mysore. Bailoor Temple [Chennakeshava Temple, Belur]. Detail of carvings on west side. Photographer: Lyon, Edmund David
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Architectural Photography
Print made from a cracked negative, showing sculptural detail and moulding in an angle of the wall of the Chennakeshava Temple at Belur. 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: '465 - represents the re-entering angle between the back of the porch on the right hand and the base of the tower up to pavilion shown in the last paragraph on the left. It illustrates the sculptures of this part in detail, and as it has escaped whitewashing, shows their marvellous beauty and sharpness of detail. The canopies over the figures are especially worthy of admiration, and are of a form only found in the buildings of this age, and in this part of India.' Another copy of this print at Photo 1000 (3113).
