#31: Brihadisvara Temple, Thanjavur, India 1798 Lithograph vs. 2016

Before it was possible to take pictures, many people would sit for hours and try to encapsulate the beauty and wonder of different landscapes, buildings, and people through different methods of art. And there were many people who were up for this particular challenge…

This lithograph of the Brihadisvara Temple in Thanjavur India was done by Thomas Daniell in 1798. And although are not able to really know how it looked back then, when comparing it to the photo taken in 2016, it looks rather similar.
