'Sultan's Palace, Muscat'
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre/Subject Matter:
View looking due west across the harbour towards the Sultan's Palace and surrounding buildings. This is presumably the white building with the crenellated roofline in the centre of the print, overlooked by Fort Capitano (Fort Al-Mirani) on the headland to the right of the image.
In the middle-ground various dhows and other craft are moored or at anchor in the harbour. In the background rocky hills rise from right to left.
This image is one of two prints that form a panoramic view over Muscat. The second image shows more of the scene to the left including the Muscat Consulate and Agency (Photo 355/1/43). The photograph was taken from an elevated position, most likely from Fort Al-Jalali.
