| Content and context |
184x235mm. View of the Kutub (or Qutb) Minar, the 250 foot 'Tower of Victory' standing in the ruins of the mosque in Old Delhi. The lower three decorated storeys, probably designed by masons from Ghazni, were either built or completed by the monarch Altumsh between 1196 and 1235 A.D. The upper parts of the tower were added by Sultan Firuz Shah in 1368. For a reconstructed view of the mosque, see J.H. Page, 'Guide to the Qutb, Delhi' (Calcutta, 1927), plate 2. |
