EDITORS COMMENTS
Agra Fort, The Jasmine Tower, Late 1860s: A Glimpse into the Past This photograph, titled "Agra Fort, The Jasmine Tower, Late 1860s," is an exquisite work by renowned British photographer Samuel Bourne. The image transports us back in time to the 19th century, specifically to the magnificent Agra Fort in Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India. Agra Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is an impressive fortification that was once the main residence of the Mughal Emperors. The fort, built of red sandstone, is a stunning example of Mughal architecture and is renowned for its elegant structures, intricate ornamentation, and breathtaking views. In this photograph, our focus is on the Jasmine Tower, an octagonal tower located within the fort. The tower, adorned with intricate ornamentation, stands proudly against the clear blue sky. The tower's name is derived from the jasmine flowers that once bloomed abundantly on its walls. Bourne's photograph, taken in the late 1860s, is an albumen print, a popular photographic process during the 19th century. The image, while in black and white, captures the essence of the fort and the tower, allowing us to appreciate their architectural beauty in its rawest form. The photograph is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), a testament to its historical significance and artistic value. This image offers us a glimpse into the past, allowing us to marvel at the grandeur and beauty of the Agra Fort and the Jasmine Tower, as they stood over a century ago.
