Title:

View of the Octagonal Pavilion, with John Gollings in its upper left window, and a presence chamber in the background, Vijayanagara, Hampi, India

Date:

1984

Description:

- Photographs PH1986:1064 - PH1986:1163 comprise 50 photographs by Colonel Alexander John Greenlaw, printed by John Gollings, and 50 photographs by John Gollings. On 22 May 1983, Edgar Gibbons commissioned Gollings to print three sets of photographs from a group of waxed-paper negatives taken in 1856 by Greenlaw of Vijayanagara. Eventually, only two sets of prints were made between the dates 23 May and 31 May 1983, of which photographs PH1986:1064 - PH1986:1113 were a part (Unpublished Document, 22 May 1983; Gibbons, 18 February 1990). From 1981 until 1984, John Gollings visited Vijayanagara and produced matching photographs of the Greenlaw series (Mitchell, 11 May 1984), with efforts taken to fix his camera, tripod and other equipment at almost the same spots as Greenlaw (Rao, p. 4). Photographs PH1986:1114 - PH1986:1163 represent his matching photographs.
- John Gollings is shown in the upper left window of the Octagonal Pavilion.
