Légende

The Nawab of Morshedabad at Prayer, from a native drawing, 1857. 'The Engraving representing the Nawab of Morshedabad at Prayer...gives a faithful idea of the interior of a Mahometan place of worship; the congregation squatting down, or standing about as they list, in a sort of half-dreamy state; and at stated passages in the prayers performing the genuflexions and salaams appointed by the ritual'. From "Illustrated London News", 1857.
