Futtehpore Sikri - Tomb of Sheik Selim Chishti, Late 1860s
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an exquisite albumen print captured by the renowned British photographer Samuel Bourne during the late 1860s. The image showcases the exterior of the magnificent tomb of Sheik Selim Chishti, located in the historic city of Fatehpur Sikri in Uttar Pradesh, India. The photograph presents a breathtaking view of the tomb's facade, with its intricate Mughal architecture and ornate details. The entrance to the tomb is framed by two tall, slender minarets, their white marble surfaces contrasting against the dark, shadowy background. The tomb's domed structure, adorned with intricate patterns and calligraphy, rises majestically in the center of the image. Sheik Selim Chishti was a revered Sufi saint and a significant figure in the history of India. His tomb is considered a holy site and attracts thousands of pilgrims every year. The image captures the essence of this historic and spiritual place, transporting the viewer to another time and place. The photograph is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of India and the artistic prowess of Samuel Bourne. It is a valuable addition to the collections of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and a reminder of the enduring beauty and significance of Mughal architecture. The image invites us to reflect on the past, contemplate the passage of time, and appreciate the beauty and complexity of the world around us.
