Description
Lieutenant Colonel Henry Dixon arrived in India in 1842 as part of the British colonial forces. When he took up the new art of photography his subjects were the temples and historic monuments of South India. This photograph shows a hill station taken from the plateau above the town; its high vantage point elucidates the town’s layout and highlights its principal structures.- {{cite web|title=Views in Mysore: Bhoganarasimhaswami's temple, in the fort, Devarayadroog (from the plateau)|url=false|author=Lieutenant Colonel Henry Dixon|year=1862–65|access-date=20 April 2024|publisher=Cleveland Museum of Art}}
