EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print showcases the Koh-I-Noor Diamond, also known as the "Mountain of Light," in its original setting from 1851. The diamond, discovered in the Kollur Mine in the Golconda region of India, has a rich and complex history that spans over a thousand years. The diamond's name is derived from the Persian language, meaning "mountain of light," a fitting description for its stunning 31.36 carat size and the brilliant light it emits. In this photograph, the Koh-I-Noor Diamond is displayed alongside its companion stone, the Durra-I-Noor Diamond, or "Sea of Light." Both diamonds were part of the famous "Peacock Throne" of the Mughal Empire in India, before being presented to the British East India Company in 1849. The Company then presented the diamonds to Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom in 1850. The photograph offers a glimpse into the historical significance of these precious gems, which have been the subject of numerous legends and tales throughout history. The Koh-I-Noor Diamond, in particular, is believed to possess magical powers and has been passed down through various rulers, including the Mughals, Persians, and Afghan rulers, before coming into British possession. The intricate setting of the Koh-I-Noor Diamond in the photograph, which features a gold mount with a green velvet background, highlights its magnificent size and shape. The contrast between the Mountain of Light and the Sea of Light creates a mesmerizing visual effect, making this photograph a true treasure for any history or art enthusiast.
