Dublin Core
Title
"The Interior of a Mosque" frontispiece, Oriental Annual 1835
Subject
India
Description
The Oriental Annual continued the tradition of including engravings and writings about far-flung locales around the British Empire that piqued the curiosity of their middle class readers. This type of voyeurism, though, fostered the continued idea that Indian culture was inferior and merely a subject of a white, settler point of view.
