EDITORS COMMENTS
Agra Fort, The Palace, Late 1860s" is an exquisite albumen print by the renowned British photographer Samuel Bourne, capturing the grandeur of the Agra Fort in Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India, during the nineteenth century. The black and white image presents a mesmerizing view of the fort's palace, which serves as a testament to the rich architectural heritage of Hindoostan. Built in the late 16th century, Agra Fort is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a prime example of Mughal architecture. This fortification was the main residence of the Mughal Emperors until 1632, when the capital was shifted to Shahjahanabad, present-day Old Delhi. The palace in the photograph is a significant architectural feature of the fort, with its impressive red sandstone facade, intricately carved pillars, and grand colonnades. Bourne's photograph, taken in the late 1860s, showcases the fort's timeless beauty, with its red sandstone walls standing proud against the clear blue sky. The columns and pillars of the palace are adorned with intricate carvings and designs, reflecting the Mughal artistry and craftsmanship. The image also reveals the fort's strategic location, with the fortifications providing a commanding view of the surrounding landscape. This photograph is an essential addition to any collection of historical images, providing a glimpse into the past and showcasing the architectural wonders of India during the British colonial era. The black and white image, with its stunning contrasts and sharp details, invites viewers to explore the history and culture of Agra Fort and the Mughal Empire."
