Secundra, Marble Screen round Tomb of Emperor Akbar, Late 1860s
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an exquisite albumen print by the renowned British photographer Samuel Bourne, capturing the intricate beauty and grandeur of the Marble Screen surrounding the tomb of Mughal Emperor Akbar, located in Sikandar Bagh, Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India. Emperor Akbar, also known as Abul Fath Jalal ud din Muhammad Akbar, was a significant figure in Indian history, ruling from 1556 to 1605. This photograph, taken in the late 1860s, provides a glimpse into the architectural splendor of the Mughal era, showcasing the ornate marble screen that encircles the tomb. The screen is an excellent example of Islamic and Mughal architecture, with intricate patterns and designs that reflect the rich cultural heritage of Hindoostan. The black and white image, with its high contrast and sharp details, highlights the intricacies of the marble work, which includes geometric shapes, floral motifs, and calligraphy. The tomb, built in the late 16th century, is a mausoleum that houses the remains of Emperor Akbar and his wife, Mariam-uz-Zamani. The screen served as a protective barrier, shielding the tomb from external elements and ensuring the tranquility and sanctity of the burial site. Bourne's photograph, taken during the 19th century, offers a unique perspective of this historic site, allowing viewers to appreciate the beauty and significance of the Marble Screen and the tomb of Emperor Akbar. Today, this photograph is part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), providing a valuable record of India's rich architectural and historical heritage.
