The Ancient City of Beejnuggur: Ruins near Camalapore

from Museum of Photographic Arts

• Peter D. Tillman said:

  Copied to commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ancient_City_of_Beejnuggu... Where is this place? I assume in India somewhere? Thanks for posting these!

• Museum of Photographic Arts said:

  I understand it's an impressive complex of ancient ruins in southern India. The modern spelling of these two places appears to be Vijayanagara and Kamalapura.

• Banka Sathyanarayana said:

  Yes. This is Vijayanagara (Hampi) near Kamalapura village. The photo pertains to Lotus Mahal. at the Janana enclosure, where you find the Elephant stable.

Cyril Lambert and others 1893

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  ‘On the Albert – 1893 – A day out with tribe and King – with Hon. C. Lambert’. Group, including Cyril Lambert (standing at rear), Polly Boyd nursing her daughter Milly, Jimmy Boyd, Sarah Clarke, Jackey Jackey, Billy Gallen, and Kipper Tommy Andrews. Albert River, 1893. Photograph by Will Stark. Who was Jackey Jackey? The man that is well documented in several photographs wearing the breastplate inscribed ‘Jackey Jackey – King of the Logan and Pimpama’ lived in the region of south-east Queensland near where the town of Beenleigh now stands on the lower Logan River. While a record identifying his birth has yet to be found, we estimate from his appearance in photographs in the years just prior to his death, as well as when his daughter Emily was born around 1853, 17 that he was born around 1820. He lived in the region from before the first European settlers arrived in the Beenleigh district in the 1860s until his death in around 1900.
