The Jeypore Portfolio of Architectural Details



The next collection we want to highlight for you is our collection of the Jeypore Portfolio of Architectural Details. This collection of plates come to us from the UWM Libraries Special Collections.The Jeypore Portfolio of Architectural Details digital collections includes two of the twelve volumes from an original 1890-1913 publication compiled by Colonel S.S.Jacob of the Institution of Civil Engineers.

The volumes which we currently hold include Volume VII, volume IX, Dados, with a note on the process of fresco paintings in Jeypore and volume X, Parapets. The plates show prints of various architectural designs and motifs as well as brief introductions to the techniques used to create them. Only Volumes 9 and 10 are digitized and both are missing a range of plates from the whole.

The digital images were created using digital photography. They were digitized for use in a project for our Look Here! collaboration. To view the final products of the collaborations you can view our digital exhibition here.
