Genre/Subject Matter
This view, from an elevated position looking east, is taken from the roof of the British Residency at Bushire (Būshehr).
The foreground is occupied by a courtyard, from which several doors and windows appear to lead to different compartments. In the left-most corner of the courtyard a figure can be seen emerging from one of the doors.
Beyond the compound, in the middle-ground, there is a green area occupied by trees, including at least one palm.
Upon close inspection much architectural detail can be observed, even in the far distance along the horizon. For instance, it is clear that the majority of the structures visible are flat-roofed dwellings with roof terraces protected by fencing, or by high parapets punctuated with latticed sections, allowing air to circulate.
