EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the early 1900s, showcases the iconic Taj Mahal in Agra, India, as it appeared during the Victorian and Edwardian eras of British colonial rule. The image is part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offering a rare glimpse into the past. The Taj Mahal, a mausoleum of white marble, is a symbol of love and loss, built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal. The monument, completed in 1653, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is widely recognized as the jewel of Muslim art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world's heritage. In this photograph, the Taj Mahal is bathed in the soft glow of lantern light, creating an ethereal and mystical atmosphere. The Victorian and Edwardian eras, marked by a sense of adventure and exploration, saw an increase in travel to India, and this photograph likely captures the awe and wonder felt by many Western visitors during that time. The British Empire's influence is evident in the presence of the lanterns, which were likely brought from England. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the rich history and cultural exchange between India and the West during the colonial period. The Taj Mahal remains a testament to the enduring beauty and significance of India's architectural and cultural heritage, drawing visitors from all corners of the world to this day.
