DESCRIPTION
The Jama Masjid of Delhi, by Thomas Longcroft (1780-1811), 1786. Longcrot came to India in 1783 hoping to make a living with his painting. However, he purchased an estate at Koil near Aligarh in 1787 and became an indigo planter, but continued to draw views seen in his travels throughout northern India. This impressive drawing of Jama Masjid was taken three years earlier than those of Thomas Daniell, and unlike him, Longcroft managed to include the entire structure in his view.

MUGHAL IMAGES
The Mughal Images immediately took a much greater interest in realistic portraiture than was typical of Persian miniatures. Animals and plants were the main subject of many miniatures for albums and were more realistically depicted. To upload your images click here.
