The Cubbon Park, Bangalore. Photographer: Unknown
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Landscape Photography
View across the park towards the Public Offices in the distance. Caption notes read: 'The Park is named after Sir Mark Cubbon, Chief Commissioner of Mysore, and covers over a hundred acres. It contains the Public Offices, built in 1868, before which is an equestrian statue of Sir Mark Cubbon, the band promenade, and the Government Museum. In addition to carriage drives and broad promenades, there are many tortuous paths and shady nooks which all help to provide a pleasant retreat, whether for pleasure or rest. The avenue leading from the upper terrace to the Museum is a striking feature. The view from the Public Offices is one of the most charming in the Station, showing as it does the Museum in the background with the feathery bamboos on the island beside it, and in the middle distance the fine avenue of Java fig-trees with the various paths and drives leading away from it'.
