EDITORS COMMENTS
Futtehpore Sikri: General View of the Ruins, Late 1860s" is an evocative black and white albumen print by the renowned British photographer Samuel Bourne. Captured in the late 1860s, this photograph offers a hauntingly beautiful glimpse into the past, showcasing the ruins of Futtehpore Sikri, a historic city located in Uttar Pradesh, India. The image presents a panoramic view of the ruins, with their intricate architectural details standing out against the backdrop of a barren, arid landscape. The facade of the buildings, with their ornate arches and intricate carvings, are a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of Hindoostan. The trees and plants that have managed to survive amidst the ruins add a touch of nature to the scene, creating a stark yet captivating contrast. Samuel Bourne, a pioneering figure in the field of photography, captured this image during the nineteenth century when India was still under British rule. His photograph not only documents the architectural grandeur of the ruins but also serves as a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the history and culture of India during that era. The photograph is now part of the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), making it accessible to a wider audience and preserving it for future generations. The image invites us to reflect on the passage of time and the enduring power of history to captivate and inspire us. Whether you are an art historian, a student of history, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of the past, this photograph is a must-see. It is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that India has to offer and the importance of preserving it for future generations.
