EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning black and white albumen print captures the breathtaking beauty and grandeur of the Mausoleum of Emperor Humayun in Delhi, India, as documented by British photographer Samuel Bourne in the late 1860s. The image showcases the intricate Mughal architecture of the monument, with its magnificent dome and ornate facade. The mausoleum, also known as the Maqbara-e-Humayun or Humayun's Tomb, was built in 1565-66 AD for the second Mughal Emperor, Humayun, and his wife, Bega Begum. The garden tomb complex, set amidst lush gardens, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a prime example of the fusion of Persian, Islamic, and Indian architectural influences. The image offers a glimpse into the rich history and cultural heritage of Hindustan during the 19th century, providing a fascinating window into the past. The photograph, taken by Samuel Bourne during the British colonial era, showcases the exterior view of the monument, highlighting its architectural details, including the intricate dome and the domed structures surrounding it. The image is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Mughal Empire and the architectural masterpieces it left behind.
