EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the grandeur and intricacy of Emperor Humayun's Tomb in Delhi, India, during the late 19th century. The tomb, built between 1562 and 1570, serves as a mausoleum for the second Mughal Emperor, Humayun. The central large dome, with its intricate designs and calligraphy, dominates the structure, surrounded by smaller domes and ornate architecture. The serene setting is further enhanced by the presence of trees and bushes in the foreground, adding a touch of nature to the historical monument. Emperor Humayun's Tomb is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is considered an important example of Mughal architecture. The tomb complex is known for its symmetrical gardens, water channels, and red sandstone and white marble structures. The design of the tomb was influenced by Persian architecture, reflecting the cultural exchanges between India and Persia during the Mughal period. This photograph is part of the Boswell collection, slide no. 22 and 27, from the 1890s. The image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era of rich history and architectural marvels. The black and white medium adds a timeless quality to the image, making it a captivating piece of history.
