Topographical drawing of the ruins of the Palace of Kosroes (Khosrau I of Persia), Al-Mada'in, Ctesiphon

NOTES: The palace is also known as Sh+â-óhig+â-ón-i Sepid - the white palace - and incorporates the great arch Taq-i Kisra, which is seen in this drawing. This drawing was probably produced by a local draughtsman for Charles Felix Marie Texier for use in his publications and later presented to the RIBA.
