EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of The Cashmere Gate in Delhi during the late 19th century. The image, part of the Boswell Collection, features two grand brick arches adorned with potted plants, creating a beautiful contrast against the rustic backdrop. The serene atmosphere is further accentuated by the presence of a man casually seated beside the left arch, adding a sense of scale and human connection to the scene. The Cashmere Gate, also known as Ajmeri Gate, is one of the historic landmarks of Delhi, India. It was built in 1370 AD and served as the main entrance to the city during the Mughal era. The gate was named after the Mughal Emperor Humayun's wife, Haji Begum, who was also known as Hawa Mahal or the Palace of Winds due to its intricate latticework. This photograph, taken around the 1890s, offers a glimpse into the past, revealing the rich history and architectural grandeur of India during the British Raj. The use of a lantern slide further adds to the antiquated charm of the image, transporting us back in time and inviting us to explore the wonders of this fascinating country.
