General view of the Jamali Kamali Masjid, Delhi. Photographer: Cole, Henry Hardy
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Architectural Photography
Situated at the Qutb to the south-east of Metcalfe's House. For description, see Carr Stephen, The archaeology of the monumental remains of Delhi (Ludhiana and Calcutta, 1876), pp. 171-172. Although the photograph is credited to Cole, it was probably not in fact taken by him: there is no positive indication that Cole was himself a practical photographer. W. Caney is a possible candidate. Cole lists the tomb in this complex as 'decorated in a beautiful and singular way with colored encaustic tiles' in his List of some ancient and other native architectural buildings in India (Simla, 1880), p. 9, where he also states that there are 'no photographs known to exist'. He further notes that restoration of the building would be 'impossible', and that it is 'fast losing all its beauty by removal of tiles, etc.'
