Description: | Photograph taken about 1900 by the Government photographer, Zacharias D'Cruz of a view of Peermade, in the high ranges of erstwhile Travancore. It is one of 76 prints in an album entitled 'Album of South Indian Views' of the Curzon Collection. George Nathaniel Curzon was Under Secretary of State at the Foreign Office between 1895-98 and Viceroy of India between 1898-1905. Peermade was used as a sanatorium and hill-station by the European community in Travancore. A major centre of coffee and tea industry, it is believed to have been the residence of a Muhammadan saint, Peer Mohammed from whose name, Peermade takes its name. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | D'Cruz, Zachariah | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
