EDITORS COMMENTS
Secundra, Mausoleum of Emperor Akbar" is an exquisite albumen print captured by the renowned British photographer Samuel Bourne in the late 1860s. The photograph showcases the magnificent exterior of the mausoleum, located in Sikandar Bagh, Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India. The mausoleum is dedicated to the great Mughal Emperor Akbar, born as Abul Fath Jalal ud Din Muhammad Akbar in 1542. Akbar, who ruled from 1556 to 1605, is renowned for his military conquests, political acumen, and religious tolerance. The black and white image reveals the intricate facade of the mausoleum, which embodies the grandeur of Mughal architecture. The monument's exterior is adorned with intricate carvings, geometric patterns, and calligraphy, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of Hindoostan. The mausoleum, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, stands as a testament to the architectural brilliance of the Mughal era. The photograph, taken during the nineteenth century, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to the era of the great Mughals. The image's title, "Secundra," refers to the name of the village where the mausoleum is situated. The mausoleum, also known as Akbar's Tomb, serves as a final resting place for the legendary emperor and his beloved wife, Empress Mariam-uz-Zamani. The photograph, held in the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is a valuable addition to the world's artistic and historical record. The image's composition, with its clear focus on the mausoleum's facade, offers a captivating view that invites us to explore the history and significance of this magnificent monument.
