[Photo.34/(015)] Amaravati. General view of excavations, 1877, taken from the southern side of the circle


Panoramic view composed of two joined prints, looking across the site, with diggers posed for the photographer.

The print is in very poor condition, in two pieces (torn in half down centre) and considerably faded. Original negative not held. Part of a collection of twenty albumen prints mounted on card, with captions written in ink beneath the prints and all signed ‘R. Sewell’.
