EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled 'Palace of the Seven Stories, - Beejapore' by William Purser, dates back to 1834 and offers a glimpse into the rich history of India. The image depicts the Sat Manzili, also known as the Palace of the Six or Seven Stories, located in the city of Bijapur in Karnataka. Built in the 16th century during the reign of Ibrahim Adil Shah II, the palace is a stunning example of Islamic architecture. The print, published in 'Views in India, China and on the Shores of the Red Sea, Vol. I' by Fisher, Son & Co. in London in 1835, captures the palace's grandeur and the intricacy of its design. The seven-storied structure, with its overgrown exterior, exudes an air of mystery and intrigue. The intricate carvings and ornate details are beautifully rendered in this engraving, providing a detailed and accurate representation of the palace. Commander Robert Elliott, the British military officer and colonial administrator, is believed to have been the person who commissioned this print. The print was likely made during Elliott's tenure as the Political Agent at Bijapur, between 1831 and 1834. The print's creator, William Purser, was a renowned English artist and engraver, known for his detailed and accurate depictions of landscapes and architectural structures. The 'Palace of the Seven Stories' stands as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of India and the intrigue of its history. The print, with its intricate details and stunning visuals, offers a window into the past and transports us to a time when the world was being explored and documented in new and exciting ways.
