The Dining Room, Government House, Lahore. Photographer: Bremner, Frederick
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Architectural Photography
Interior of Government House, richly decorated in Islamic style. The room looks more like a drawing room rather than a dining room. Note by Bunting Dane on the reverse of print continues: 'This was built as a Mohamedan tomb but was said never to have been used for this purpose. In later years the expense of redecorating the arabesques led to much of the surface being painted over - but not in our time!' Murray's guide (1901 edition) notes that the house was originally the tomb of 'Muhammad Kasim Khan, cousin of the Emperor Akbar...his tomb used to be called Kushtewala Gumbaz, or Wrestler's Tomb.'
Subjects = British colonial architecture; government houses; interiors
Location = Lahore; Pakistan; Punjab; Punjab (Pakistan)
