Summary
Description Nawab's Shahbagh Garden dhaka 1904 02.jpg |
English:
Photograph looking towards a water-tower in the Shahbagh Gardens in Dacca (Dhaka, now the capital of Bangladesh), taken by Fritz Kapp in 1904, part of an album of 30 prints from the Curzon Collection. Lord Curzon was Viceroy of India from 1899-1905. In February 1904, he toured Eastern Bengal and visited Dhaka on the 18th and 19th where he stayed at the Ahsan Manzil Palace. This album of gelatine-silver prints commemorates his Dhaka visit, though it is not a record of it and only presents us with general views. Kapp worked as a commercial photographer from the 1880s onwards and had studios in Chowringhee Road and Humayun Place in Calcutta. From the early 1900s he had a studio in Wise Ghat Road in Dhaka.
