EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting era of 19th-century India. Titled "The Moat and the Fort, Tanjore, India, 1895" this image showcases the magnificent Brihadisvara Temple in Thanjavur, Tamil Nadu. Built during the early 11th century by King Rajaraja of the Tamil Chola dynasty, this architectural marvel stands as a testament to Dravidian art and Hinduism. The photograph captures the temple's grandeur against a backdrop of lush landscape and a serene moat known as Sivaganga Tank. The intricate stone carvings adorning its exterior are beautifully highlighted in monochrome tones, emphasizing their timeless beauty. Published by George Newnes Ltd in London in 1895 as part of their travel series "Round the World in Pictures and Photographs" this print offers a glimpse into an ancient civilization that has left an indelible mark on Indian history. As we admire this archaeological site frozen in time through Meisenbach's lens, we can't help but be awestruck by both its religious significance and architectural brilliance. This print serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and invites us to delve deeper into India's past while appreciating its artistic achievements.
