An overview of the Jama Masjid looking SOUTHWARD, including a panoramic view of the rest of the city to the SOUTH, artist unknown, c.1840's (?)
Source: Provided by William Dalrymple from his private collection, August 2006. This painting undoubtedly dates from c.1820-1850, and seems to be of the school of Mazhar Ali Khan. Through the courtesy of William Dalrymple, we have a number of very large of views of it, so that the tiny Urdu inscriptions that identify many buildings can be read:
*overview, big*; *overview,
huge*
*southwest, big*; *southwest,

*southeast, big*; *southeast,
huge*
*northwest, big*; *northwest,

*northeast, big*; *northeast,
