EDITORS COMMENTS
Futtehpore Sikri: A Majestic Mughal Cityscape from the Late 1860s This black and white albumen print, titled 'Futtehpore Sikri, General View from top of Gate,' is a breathtaking aerial view of the historic city of Futtehpore Sikri, taken by renowned British photographer Samuel Bourne in the late 1860s. The image offers a unique perspective of this magnificent Mughal city, located in Uttar Pradesh, India, which was once the capital of the Mughal Empire under the reign of Emperor Akbar. The photograph showcases the grandeur and intricacy of Mughal architecture, as the city's impressive buildings and structures spread out beneath the clear, blue sky. The image's elevated vantage point, from the top of the city's entrance gate, allows the viewer to appreciate the harmonious layout of the city, with its symmetrical streets and geometrically designed buildings. The facade of the entrance gate, with its ornate carvings and intricate patterns, stands proudly in the foreground, serving as the way in to this historic city. The cityscape is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of India, with its Hindu and Islamic influences blending seamlessly to create a unique architectural style. This photograph, taken during the nineteenth century, is an essential addition to any collection of historic images of India or Mughal architecture. The image has been preserved in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) and is a reminder of the beauty and grandeur of a bygone era. The black and white medium adds to the timeless quality of the image, making it a must-have for history enthusiasts, art collectors, and anyone with an appreciation for the architectural wonders of the past.
