EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century vintage photograph, titled 'Carved Columns in the Panch Mahal, Fatehpur Sikri' by Samuel Bourne, offers a glimpse into the rich history and architectural grandeur of India during the British colonial era. The image, likely taken between the 1860s and 1890s, depicts the intricately carved columns of the Panch Mahal, a five-storied palace complex located in the ancient city of Fatehpur Sikri. The photograph, captured using the albumen or collodion process, showcases the architectural beauty of the red sandstone structure, with its ornate carvings and delicate latticework. The columns, adorned with intricate floral and geometric designs, appear to be bathed in soft light, creating an ethereal atmosphere. In the foreground, a group of men, dressed in traditional Indian robes and turbans, are seen gathered around what appears to be a shepherd and his flock. The presence of the men adds a sense of scale to the image, highlighting the grandeur of the palace complex. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the topography of the region, with a river or water body visible in the background, and the distant outline of what appears to be a fort or military post. The image provides a fascinating insight into the cultural and historical landscape of India during the Victorian era, a time when the country was under British colonial rule. Samuel Bourne was a renowned British photographer who is known for his extensive documentation of India during the 19th century. His photographs, which capture the essence of the Indian subcontinent, continue to be highly sought after by collectors and historians alike for their historical and artistic value.
