Hyderabad, Sindh in 1889

Hyderabad - Scinde

Fred Bremner, Quetta/Karachi

[Hyderabad, founded in 1768 by Ghulam Shah, was the capital of Sindh until it fell to the British in 1843 after the battle of Miani six miles north of the city. Photographs of the old city of Hyderabad are extremely rare. The triangular structures on the rooftops are wind catchers that funnel cool breezes into the homes below.]
