Ruins of Vijianuggur [Vijayanagara], near Calamapoor [Kamalapuram]. [General view of ruins, with square watchtower.] Photographer: Lyon, Edmund David
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Architectural Photography
Lyon's 'Notes to Accompany a Series of Photographs Prepared to Illustrate the Ancient Architecture of Southern India' (Marion & Co., London, 1870), edited by James Fergusson, gives the following description of this photograph: '488 - From the same elevated position, inside what was formerly the Court of the Harem, this view was also taken. It represents another portion of the same wall, and also another of the curious towers placed at each of its different angles. Outside the enclosure is seen, close to the tower, one of the porches, which literally are to be found in countless numbers over every part of the ground once occupied by this city, while the rocks seen in the background give a good idea of the curious formation of the country.'
