Description: | Photograph from the Curzon Collection, of the Agency Bungalow or Residency at Bharatpur, Rajasthan, taken by the studio of Priyalall & Company in c.1900. The Agency was composed of the three states of Bharatpur, Dholpur and Karauli, which were administered by a British Political Agent from 1855 until 1925. In 1897 its headquarters were transferred from Dholpur to Bharatpur. The bungalow is built in an Anglo-Indian architectural style. Originally a lightly-constructed, single-storey dwelling with a verandah, by the early 20th century the colonial bungalow had evolved to become an imposing, multi-storeyed residence as shown in this view. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Priyalall and Company | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
