EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Agra, Mausoleum of Etmad Dowlat' by Samuel Bourne, dates back to the late 1860s. The image showcases the stunning exterior of the Mausoleum of Itimad-ud-Daulah, also known as the 'Baby Taj,' located in Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India. The Mausoleum of Itimad-ud-Daulah is a magnificent example of Mughal architecture, built between 1622 and 1628 as a tomb for Mirza Ghiyas Beg, a Persian Amir (nobleman) under the Mughal Emperor Jahangir. The monument is often referred to as the 'Baby Taj' due to its similarities in design to the iconic Taj Mahal, but on a smaller scale. Bourne's photograph captures the intricate details of the mausoleum's facade, with its white marble and inlaid semi-precious stones adorning the building's exterior. The image also provides a glimpse into the historical significance of the site, which served as a prototype for the Taj Mahal, designed by the same architect, Ustad Ahmad Lahauri. The Mausoleum of Itimad-ud-Daulah holds immense cultural and historical value, representing the fusion of Persian, Islamic, and Indian architectural styles. This photograph is a testament to the rich heritage and artistic achievements of the Mughal Empire during the 19th century. Today, this photograph is part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), offering viewers a glimpse into the past and the beauty of India's architectural history.
