EDITORS COMMENTS
Fatehpur Sikri: A Pillar in the Diwan-i-Khas (1860s) This vintage photograph, titled 'Fatehpur Sikri: A Pillar in the Diwan-i-Khas,' is an exquisite 19th-century record of India's rich history and architectural grandeur. Taken by the renowned British photographer Samuel Bourne around the 1860s, the image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to the historic city of Fatehpur Sikri in northern India. The Diwan-i-Khas, or the Hall of Private Audience, is a magnificent structure within the Fatehpur Sikri complex, which served as the political and spiritual capital of the Mughal Empire under Emperor Akbar from 1571 to 1585. The intricately designed pillar in the foreground, with its ornate carvings and delicate floral motifs, stands as a testament to the exceptional craftsmanship and artistic prowess of the era. The photograph is believed to have been taken during the late 19th century, a time when the British Empire held significant influence over India. The presence of a shepherd and his flock in the background adds an element of contrast, juxtaposing the grandeur of the imperial architecture with the simple, rustic life of the local population. The photograph was likely taken using either the collodion or albumen process, popular techniques during the Victorian era for creating high-quality, detailed images. The image's antique charm and the intriguing story it tells make it an invaluable addition to any collection of historical photographs or those interested in Indian history, culture, and architecture.
