NICHOLAS & COMPANY
Footnotes
An album of views in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka, Southern India, mostly attributable to the Nicholas brothers. John and Nicholas established a Madras studio in the early 1860s, the firm remaining in practice until the end of the century. A.T.W. Penn was employed by them for a number of years. Some of the views seem to be taken from almost identical positions as those taken by Tripe and Pigou earlier in the century. Includes many views in Madras and Madurai (Minakshi Sundaresh temple and tank, Tirumal Nayaka Palace, Great Pagoda, city views), also Seringapatam (Daria Daulat Bagh, mosque, Wellesley bridge, general city view), Rock temple at Trichinopoly, Mahabalipuram (shore temples and carvings), waterfalls near Mysore, and other temple buildings. Bound at the end are 4 group portraits, including a Toda family, and Buddhist monks, and 2 images of Northern India.
