Description: | Photograph of a gateway to the Artillery Lines, at Rampur in Uttar Pradesh, taken by an unknown photographer in c.1911, from the Nawab of Rampur's presentation album. This album of photographs of Rampur was presented to the India Office by the Festival of Empire in November 1911. The Nawab of Rampur, Hamid Ali Khan (1896-1930), was one of the exhibitors as the Festival of Empire held at Crystal Palace to mark George V's coronation. Hamid Ali Khan organised an extensive rebuilding programme in Rampur which was carried out by W.C. Wright, the Chief Engineer. Wright's architecture synthesises elements from Islamic, Hindu and Victorian Gothic, known as Indo-Saracenic. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Unknown | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
