EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century vintage photograph, titled "The Gumbaz at Seringapatam," showcases the majestic beauty and rich cultural heritage of India during the British colonial era. The image, captured by renowned British photographer Samuel Bourne (circa 1860s-1890s), depicts the impressive Muslim mausoleum known as the Gumbaz, located in Seringapatam, a city in southern India. The mausoleum is the final resting place of Tippu Sultan, a powerful and influential ruler of the Kingdom of Mysore during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The photograph captures the architectural grandeur of the Gumbaz, with its intricate domes, arches, and ornate decorations. The mausoleum stands proudly amidst a lush green landscape, with a tranquil river flowing in the background. In the foreground, a group of men, dressed in traditional Indian attire, are seen gathered near the entrance, possibly paying their respects. The presence of British soldiers and a shepherd with his flock in the background underscores the colonial influence in the region during that era. The photograph was likely taken using the wet collodion process, a popular photographic technique during the late 19th century. The resulting image is a testament to the skill and artistry of Samuel Bourne, who is known for his exceptional work in documenting the topography and culture of Asia during the Victorian era. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the history and traditions of India during a pivotal time in its past, making it an invaluable addition to any collection of Asian or historical photography.
