Légende

Tomb of Mohammed Adil Chah, Beejapoor, India, 1871. Engraving made '...from materials supplied by the Rev. Arthur Polehampton, chaplain in the Indian Government service, of the magnificent architectural remains at Beejapoor. That ruined and deserted city, which is situated in the Deccan, between the Sattara territory and the dominion of Hydrabad, nearly 200 miles southeast of Poonah. was formerly the capital of a very powerful Mohammedan kingdom. It was conquered and ultimately destroyed by the great Indian Moguls, beginning with Aurungzebe, in the seventeenth century; but, though now left to moulder and decay in silence, having lost all its vast population, the aspect of the mighty walls, the palaces temples, and regal sepulchres is still very imposing...The tomb of Ibrahim Adil Shah was shown in one of our former Illustrations; that of Mohammed Adil Shah, another famous monarch of the same dynasty, appears in the View we have now engraved'. From "Illustrated London News", 1871.
