Description: | Part of a portfolio of photographs taken in 1858 by Major Robert Christopher Tytler and his wife, Harriet, in the aftermath of the Uprising of 1857. The Zinat-ul-Masjid was built by Zinat-ul-Nissa, a daughter of Aurangzeb (r.1658-1707). It stands in Shahjahanabad, south of the Red Fort and overlooking the river Yamuna. It is mainly built from sandstone and has three striped marble domes surmounting its prayer hall. The photographer's hack ghari stands on the roadway in the foreground. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Subjects: | Road Transport Sacred Architecture Science And Technology Carriages Architecture Mosques | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Tytler, Robert and Harriet | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
