Description: | Photograph from the Curzon Collection: 'Rampur Album' of the Sudder Hospital at Rampur, in Uttar Pradesh, taken by an unknown photographer in c.1905. W.C. Wright, the Chief Engineer, who was chosen to carry out an extensive building programme in the city by the Nawab of Rampur, Hamid Ali Khan. Wright's architecture may be termed 'Indo-Saracenic', as it synthesises elements from Islamic, Hindu and the Gothic revival, which was a style used for many public buildings across India in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This is one of the photographs which was presented in an album to Lord Curzon, the Viceroy of India, by the Nawab on 8th June 1905, to commemorate his visit to the city. They are not an historical record of Curzon's visit but general views of Rampur. | 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 |
