Description: | Watercolour of the Nadan Mahal in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh part of the Wellesley Albums, by an anonymous artist working in the Calcutta style in c. 1798-1804.
The Marquis of Wellesley was Governor General of India from 1798 to 1805. In that time he amassed a large collection of art, consisting mainly of natural history drawings. This is a view of the Nadan Mahal, the tomb of Shaikh 'Abd al-Rahim of Lucknow, friend to Akbar. The tomb is complete with most its tile work and four corner cupolas, which were subsequently destroyed and not replaced. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Anonymous | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
